Los Locos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s on the cards for Los Locos over the next couple of weeks. First up, there’s no surf at all right now – we’ve got a blank spell to kick things off. The first proper waves of the period show up on Monday the 7th.

Monday the 7th brings a small but promising start. Morning glass-off with a clean 2-foot swell out of the WNW, period at 14 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell, real long lines. Combined energy is sitting at 240 (moderate). By the afternoon, it’s still small at 3 feet, but with a light cross-off breeze from the north it’s gonna be clean. Not a standout, but a nice, quiet re-entry into the water.

Tuesday the 8th is a write-off. Onshore wind and chop. Nothing to see here.

Now, Wednesday the 9th is where we get our first real standout. The morning kicks off with a clean 6-foot swell from the NNW, period at 9 seconds, and light cross-off winds from the north. Combined energy jumps right up to 494 (strong). This is some serious juice for Los Locos. The afternoon gets even better – same clean conditions, but the swell drops slightly to 5 feet, and the combined energy maxes out at 638 (very strong). The wind stays clean. This is the best on offer for the whole outlook – a proper session if you’re game. 6 feet is pushing it for beginners, so more for the experienced crew.

Thursday the 10th stays good. Morning glassy conditions with a 5-foot NW swell (434 energy – strong), and the afternoon turns offshore with 4 feet from the NNW. Consistent clean lines. Crowds are often here, so don’t expect solitude.

The weekend from Friday the 11th through Sunday the 13th drops off in size but still has clean moments, especially Sunday morning the 13th with a glassy 3-foot NW groundswell (period 13 seconds, energy 344 – moderate). A sneaky good dawn patrol.

Looking into the second week, Monday the 15th morning is another highlight – glassy conditions, 4 feet from the NW, with a 12-second period and combined energy of 413 (strong). Clean and powerful. Then we hit a rough patch from Tuesday the 16th through to Friday the 18th – onshore winds and chop dominate. Not worth paddling out.

The pattern turns back around for Saturday the 19th. A clean 4-foot NW swell with offshore winds and combined energy of 481 (strong). This looks promising but it’s over a week away, so keep an eye on it.

Water temp at Los Locos is sitting at 70°F with a positive anomaly of 1°F, so it’s slightly warmer than average for this time of year – nice.

So, to wrap it up: Wednesday the 9th is the clear standout, with Thursday the 10th and Monday the 15th as strong runners-up. Get out there when it’s clean.

Rusty.
