The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, let’s get into it. Rusty here.
We’re looking at a pretty quiet stretch ahead for Los Locos. The next few days are a bit of a bust, with hardly any energy in the water. Hang tight, because the real action doesn’t show up until the tail end of the first week and into the second.
The early part of the week is flat. Monday and Tuesday see tiny, weak swell with poor conditions. The water is sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick wetsuit.
Our first real chance to get wet comes on Thursday, August 6th. The morning brings a clean 4 ft NW swell with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is offshore from the ENE, and the combined energy is moderate (221). This is the best window of the whole outlook. The afternoon holds up with similar size and clean NE offshore winds. It’s not huge, but for here, it's the standout.
Friday the 7th is still rideable, with a smaller 3 ft NNW swell and clean offshore winds, but the energy drops off. Saturday and Sunday go back to flat and weak.
The next highlight is Friday, August 14th. The afternoon sees a 5 ft N swell (combined energy 214) with clean offshore NE winds. This is the biggest push of the period, and it’s only for experienced surfers as it’s pushing over 5 ft and is a bit of a short period. The morning on the 14th is also decent with 5 ft and clean offshore winds.
After that, it fades out again. The 16-day run has a lot of gaps, so don’t expect a constant flow. The best bet is to focus on the 6th and the 14th.
Rusty out.

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.
