The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at a solid little run for Los Locos coming our way. We’ve got a bit of a flat start, but don’t worry, the waiting game pays off.

The first worthwhile surf shows up Saturday morning, September 5th. It’s a bit of a late start to the week, but from there, the energy builds nicely. The water’s running a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, 71°F, so it’s a little more pleasant than normal.

Saturday morning brings in a clean 4ft swell from the NW, with a gentle east breeze keeping things cross-off. The wave energy is ramping up with moderate energy (565). It’s not firing yet, but it’s clean and rideable. Saturday afternoon the wind swings more offshore from the ENE at 16 km/h, and the swell pushes to 5ft from the NW. That’s where it gets interesting. The energy jumps to strong (919), and it’s looking very good.

Sunday morning, September 6th, is a bit of a letdown – light cross-on wind from the WNW and a 5ft NW swell, but the quality drops off. The afternoon is even worse with poor conditions. Just a day to sit out.

Monday morning, September 7th, is a hidden gem. Glassy conditions with a clean 2ft WNW swell. It’s small, but that period of 14 seconds gives it some grunt for its size (230 combined energy). This is a great session for a longboard or a fun board. The afternoon cleans up with a light cross-off breeze and a bit more size.

The real standout of the whole outlook? That’s Wednesday, September 9th. Wednesday morning is glassy, with a solid 5ft NW swell, period of 12 seconds, and wave energy at 620. Very good conditions. But Wednesday afternoon is where it hits: a 6ft NW swell, strong offshore NE wind, and the energy cranks to 890. This is prime Los Locos, clean, offshore, with decent size. For the experienced crew, this is the session to circle.

Thursday the 10th keeps the good vibes going with glassy mornings and a 4ft NNW swell, followed by more offshore winds in the afternoon.

After that, the surf tapers off. We get a few more clean, smaller days, but nothing massive. There's a gap from around the 14th to the 16th where it gets pretty ordinary – small, weak, and mostly onshore. You're looking at 2ft to 2ft swells with little energy. Not worth paddling out unless you're desperate.

But hold on – the end of the two-week window brings some serious promise. Friday morning, September 18th, we get a 5ft NW swell with a strong offshore NE breeze, energy at 487. Good. Then Saturday morning, September 19th is the absolute standout of the whole run. A 6ft NW swell, period of 11 seconds, with a clean offshore wind and energy at 957. That’s very good surf. And Saturday afternoon? It gets even better – 6ft NW swell, period of 12 seconds, and the energy hits 1007. This is excellent, powerful surf for experienced surfers only. Los Locos will be running, and it’s going to be a ripper.

Crowds are often an issue here, so if you want a peak, get in early on those standout days. At 6ft and over, this is not a beginner wave. It’s for the crew who know what they’re doing.

Keep an eye on the long-range stuff for the 19th – it’s still a bit far out, but the signals are strong.

Rusty.

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.
