The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the same outlook in feet for Los Locos.
It’s gonna be a slow start, so don’t bust the zipper on your wetsuit for the first couple of days. Thursday and Friday are offering tiny, gutless waves. The water’s sitting around 71°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no cold-water shock.
The one to get stoked about is Saturday, September 5th. We’ve got a solid 4ft groundswell from the NW rolling in with a 14-second period. The energy is cranking (671), and a light cross-offshore wind from the ENE is going to keep it glassy. This is the call of the week. It’s a little too big for the groms, but for everyone else, it’s prime. The afternoon gets a bit bumpy, so stick to the morning.
Sunday the 6th is a complete mess with the wind onshore.
Monday the 7th offers a reprieve. The morning goes dead glassy from the WSW, so even though the waves are only 2ft, they’ll be smooth as butter. Perfect for a longboard and a sunrise session.
After that, the ocean turns into a lake from the 11th through the 15th. Tiny ripples, nothing to write home about.
Then, look at Wednesday the 16th. The morning brings 3-4ft NW swell (305 combined energy) with clean offshore winds and a nice 11-second period. It’s a proper little window of clean surf. The afternoon wind does get strong, so it’s a morning mission again.
Thursday the 17th has more of the same: clean, fun-sized waves.
Bottom line: Saturday the 5th is your best bet, with the morning of the 16th running a close second.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
Los Locos is 10 km (6 miles) from Torrelavega. If you plan a holiday in Spain - Cantabria, look for hotels and other accommodation in Torrelavega. Torrelavega has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
