The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, breaking down what’s coming for this spot.
The water at *Los Locos* is running a bit warmer than what’s typical for this time of year, which is a nice little bonus.
We start off flat and junk. Sunday the 26th is a total dud – small, weak waves with a cross-onshore breeze. Save your energy.
Monday the 27th is the clear standout. Swell jumps to 5ft from the NNW, with a period of 10 seconds – proper groundswell, loads of energy. The wind goes glassy in the morning and swings offshore from the NE in the afternoon. That’s about as clean as it gets. The combined energy jumps way up (548 to 601). This is the day.
Tuesday the 28th stays clean with a moderate offshore breeze, but the swell drops back to 4ft from the NW. Still good, just not as big. Crowds are likely here, but not too bad.
From Wednesday the 29th through the end of the first week of August, the swell completely dries up. Heights below 3ft, weak energy, and you’ll be surfing ankle-biters. There’s a solid gap of about 7 or 8 days with barely anything rideable.
A new pulse arrives around Tuesday the 4th of August: swell back to 4ft from the NW, 9-second period, but the wind is cross-onshore and conditions are marginal. Not the one.
Then comes the big stuff – Friday the 7th into Saturday the 8th of August. Swell hits 8ft to 8ft from the NW with an 11-second period and massive combined energy readings up to 1725. That’s powerful, heavy water. Problem is the wind: strong cross to cross-onshore, making it lumpy and messy. This is strictly for experts, and honestly, it’s more of a kite-surfing day than a clean paddle session.
Sunday the 9th of August looks better. Swell drops to 6ft from the NNW, the wind settles, and by afternoon it’s clean with a gentle offshore breeze. Good quality, good shape.
After that, it’s back to small, clean leftovers – nothing special.
Bottom line: Monday the 27th of July is the one. Clean, solid, and consistent. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or for experts only.
Rusty.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Los Locos may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
