The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one for us. The 16-day window starts with a whole lot of nothing, so don’t bother waxing up just yet. We’ve got a consistent spot in Los Locos, but it’s looking like a long stretch of poor conditions, with only a few sessions that might be worth a paddle if you’re desperate. The first proper recommendation doesn’t kick in until the afternoon of Friday, 7 August, and even then, it’s ordinary. There’s a gap of about a week of flat-to-crap before that, so hang tight.
From Friday 31 July right through to the morning of Friday 7 August, it’s mostly poor surf with tiny waves and messy wind. The swell is barely scraping 2 ft, and the energy is weak – you’re looking at combined energy values of 32 down to 8, which is just sad. Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.
Alright, the only real standout in this whole run is the afternoon of Friday, 7 August. Los Locos gets a little bump from the northwest, with a swell height of 4 ft and a period of 8 seconds. That’s not huge, but it’s the biggest we’ll see. The combined energy jumps to 192 (moderate), so there’s a bit of push. The wind is from the north at 6 mph, coming cross-offshore, which cleans it up nicely. It’s a consistent beginner-friendly break, and with that offshore wind, it’ll be a bit of fun for the learners. It’s exposed to the northwest swell, and the optimum swell direction is northwest, so that’s a good match. Crowds are often there, so expect company.
After that, the following week from Saturday 8 August onwards drops back into tiny, weak surf. The swell peters out to 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with combined energy values mostly under 100. Winds are offshore or glassy at times, which is nice, but there’s just no wave to work with. The morning of Sunday 9 August and Monday 10 August have some 2 ft to 2 ft swells with offshore breezes, but it’s still very ordinary.
Best bet: the afternoon of Friday, 7 August at Los Locos. That’s your window. 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.
