Los Locos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

First up, it’s a bit of a slow start for Los Locos. For the first few days, from Tuesday the 25th through Thursday the 27th, you’re looking at messy, onshore conditions with tiny, weak swell. Not worth paddling out for. Hold tight.

Now, Friday the 28th sees a bit more push, with chest-to-head high sets around 5 ft from the NW, but the wind is messy – cross-onshore and cross-shore chop is no good. That one’s a pass too.

Alright, things start to get interesting on Saturday the 29th. Saturday morning is a beauty – 4 ft of NW swell, combined energy sitting at a solid (241), and the wind is dead calm. Glassy conditions. That’s proper clean surf for the early birds. Saturday afternoon stays clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. This is your first real window.

Sunday the 30th looks even better for the early session. Sunday morning is glassy again, with 4 ft of NW swell, a period of 10 seconds, and good energy (334). That’s a super clean, fun-sized wave. The crystal-clear water is running about 72°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – nice.

Monday the 31st has a bit more size in the afternoon – 5 ft from the NW – and the wind swings cross-offshore, cleaning things up nicely. That afternoon window is worth a look.

Tuesday the 1st of September is another standout morning. Glassy conditions again, 4 ft of NW swell, and 10-second period – that’s a recipe for fun, clean lines. The morning is your go-to.

Wednesday the 2nd is a mixed bag, but Thursday the 3rd of September brings another absolute stunner. Thursday morning is glassy with 4 ft of NW swell, 10-second period, and some real punch in the energy (355). That’s top-tier stuff for Los Locos.

Looking further out, Friday the 4th of September morning is glassy again with 4 ft of NW swell, but the energy is pumping at (440). That’s a sneaky-good session.

Then we hit a bit of a messy patch from the 5th through the 6th. Rain showers and strong winds spoil the fun.

But hold onto your board for Monday the 7th of September. This is the big one. A solid 7 ft of NW groundswell, a period of 13 seconds, and massive energy (1446). This is expert territory – that size and power is not for the faint of heart. Best left to the big-wave crew. It’s a long-period groundswell, so it should line up nicely at this exposed NW break, but the wind is onshore that morning, so it might be a bit lumpy. The afternoon is smaller but still strong.

Finally, Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th of September round out the forecast with clean, glassy conditions and fun 4 ft waves. A solid end to a pretty promising run.

Bottom line: Your best bets are the glassy mornings from Saturday the 29th through to Thursday the 3rd, with Friday the 4th morning also looking great. That Monday the 7th pulse is for the experts only.

Rusty.
