The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next 16 days at Los Locos. We’ve got some good action lined up, but there are also flat patches to work through, so keep your expectations in check for the long haul.

The start is a bit of a slow burn. Saturday the 29th is nothing to write home about—morning has a clean 5ft NW swell with glassy conditions and a moderate 333 wave energy, but the afternoon turns choppy with a cross-off wind. Not worth paddling out for the afternoon session.

Sunday the 30th is a write-off: cross winds and messy 5ft NW swell, poor quality. The energy is moderate at 416, but the wind kills it.

Now, Monday the 31st is the real standout. We’ve got 5ft NW swell coming in with a 10-second period, glassy calm conditions in the morning, and the wave energy is pumping at 528 (moderate but building). This is clean, lined-up surf that will have shape and power. This is the best on offer in the whole outlook. Los Locos is a consistent, exposed NW spot, and with glass and a solid NW groundswell it’ll be firing. Water temp is pretty average for this time of year so no worries there. Crowds are often here, so expect company.

Tuesday the 1st of September holds clean, glassy conditions again, but the swell is dropping to 4ft. Still fun for the morning with a glassy 285 moderate energy—worth a paddle if you missed Monday.

From Wednesday the 2nd through to Friday the 4th, the surf fades dramatically. Swell drops to under 2ft with energy below 100. You’re looking at tiny, ordinary conditions—barely worth wetting a suit. There’s a gap of several days with no real surf to get excited about.

Things start to look up again on Saturday the 5th of September. By the afternoon, there’s a new 5ft NW swell with a very long 13-second period, and offshore ENE winds at 19 mph. Wave energy jumps to a strong 846. This is a powerful, clean groundswell, but the long period means it might run a bit straight at this beach setup—still, for experienced surfers, it’s clean and punchy. Beginners will find it big and intimidating.

Sunday the 6th of September is another standout—morning glass with 5ft NW swell, 12-second period, and a hefty 628 moderate-to-strong wave energy. That morning window will be prime: glassy, clean, solid waves. This could rival Monday the 31st for best of the run.

After Sunday afternoon, conditions go downhill again with cross-onshore winds and dropping wave heights. The middle of the second week—Monday 7th to Tuesday 8th—is mostly poor, with messy, cross-shore wind and marginal quality.

Wednesday the 9th brings the biggest swell of the outlook: 7ft NW at 11 seconds in the morning, jumping to 7ft NNW by afternoon with a solid 16 mph offshore wind. Wave energy hits 1151 and 1095—strong to very strong. This is expert territory. The afternoon especially will offer powerful, clean, offshore lines. Too big for beginners, but if you’ve got the skill, this is a serious session.

Thursday the 10th drops off fast, and from Friday the 11th through to Sunday the 13th, we’re back to tiny, weak surf—less than 3ft and wimpy energy. Nothing worth planning around.

Bottom line: Lock in Monday the 31st of August and the morning of Sunday the 6th of September. They’re the cleanest, best-shaped days. Wednesday the 9th is for experts only.

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.

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.
