The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Los Locos.

Alright, listen up. The immediate outlook is a bit of a slow starter, but there’s a proper window of clean surf coming up if you’re patient. The water is sitting at 73°F, which is a solid 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s really noticeable, you won’t need a thick suit.

The first few days are a write-off. Tuesday the 21st starts with some super weak, short-period windswell. The Tuesday morning session is glassy but the swell is tiny and messy, the combined energy reading is weak at 169. By the afternoon, a strong offshore wind picks up to 16 mph, but that swell is still just 5 ft from the NNE with a period of 7 seconds – it’s all surface chop, no power. Not worth paddling out for.

Wednesday the 22nd through to Saturday the 26th is a real rough patch. Cross-onshore winds blow all day, every day, from the west and west-northwest. The swell height fluctuates between 2 ft and 6 ft, but the period never gets above 6 seconds and the combined energy is weak to moderate (usually under 114). The surf is just lumpy, choppy, and uninviting. There’s a window on Saturday afternoon with a 6 ft wave from the NW, but it’s blowing 22 mph onshore and there’s a risk of thunderstorms – that’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing.

Now, here’s where it gets good. Monday morning the 27th of July, the wind drops to glassy – absolutely dead calm. The swell is 5 ft from the NW, but the period jumps to 10 seconds, which is proper groundswell. The combined energy reads a strong 460. That’s the standout of the whole forecast. The swell direction is a perfect match for the optimum NW direction at Los Locos. This is the best session on offer. The afternoon stays clean with a 12 mph offshore wind from the NE. Tuesday the 28th morning is still solid: 4 ft from the NNW with a 9-second period, combined energy of 240, and clean cross-offshore winds.

After that, it slowly fades. Wednesday the 29th has glassy conditions but the swell drops to 2 ft. From Thursday the 30th through to the end of the run on August 5th, it’s back to small, weak, and mostly cross-onshore conditions. The swell is all under 3 ft with periods of 6-8 seconds. There’s a brief pocket of clean offshore winds on the 3rd and 4th of August, but the waves are barely breaking at 3 ft. It’s a long dry spell in the second week.

So, the one true standout is Monday the 27th of July. Get on it. Glassy morning, solid 5 ft NW groundswell, ten-second period, and the water is warm. That’s as good as it gets in this window.

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.
