Alright, Rusty here, lookin’ at the charts for the next couple weeks.
First up, we gotta be real about the start of the week. Right now through the rest of this week and into the weekend, it’s pretty flat. There’s not much on offer for us at Los Locos. Just tiny, weak dribble with energy barely registering (87 or less). The swell direction and period are all over the shop, but mostly short-period and small. It’s gonna be a quiet stretch until next Monday, July 20th. That’s about a week of waiting.
Now, Monday the 20th is where things start to get interesting. We’ve got a jump in swell coming, with northerly energy picking up to about 5ft on the morning. The wind is glassy, and the combined energy is cracking into the moderate range (299). That morning window is the standout for the next several days – clean, glassy, and a decent little push of swell. It’s not huge, but it’ll be the best we’ve seen in a while. The afternoon gets a little crossed up and marginal.
The good news is that consistency looks better. From Tuesday the 21st through the 26th, we’ve got surfable waves most days, with clean conditions and either glassy or offshore winds. It’s on the smaller side, around 2ft to 4ft, but for beginners and longboarders, it’s going to be a treat. The wind is mostly coming out of the NE to ENE, which is offshore for Los Locos, so the faces will be smooth. The energy sits in the weak to moderate range (65 to 149), nothing too powerful.
Then we get to the real headline: Monday the 27th of July and Tuesday the 28th. This is the one to circle on your calendar. The NW swell builds and picks up serious power. On Monday afternoon, we’re looking at 6ft of NW swell with a solid 11-second period – that’s groundswell energy. The combined energy jumps right up to 692 (strong), and the wind is a clean moderate offshore from the NE. Tuesday morning tops it off: 6ft of NW swell, glassy conditions, and energy at 940 (very strong). The swell direction matches the optimum for Los Locos (NW), so it's lining up perfectly. This is absolutely the best on offer, but at that size and with that punch, it’s going to be for more experienced surfers only.
Stay stoked, but don’t sleep on that last Monday and Tuesday – it’s gonna be firing.

Information about the Los Locos Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Los Locos provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Los Locos can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Los Locos surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Los Locos) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
