The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, checking in. We've got a solid run of swell on the cards for Los Locos, a real standout stretch that's worth gettin' wet for. The next 16 days are bookended by some absolute magic, so let's get into it.
It all kicks off proper on Sunday the 13th. We wake up to clean 4ft NW swell with a 13-second pulse. That's groundswell, folks, and it's pumping. The combined energy is moderate at 565, but with a slight air and clean conditions, it's gonna be a beauty. Sunday afternoon holds up too with 5ft and strong offshore NE winds keeping it clean. This is where you wanna be.
Then the week gets interesting. Monday the 14th stays good through the morning with clean 4ft surf, but things get a bit tricky from Tuesday the 15th through to Thursday the 17th as winds go cross and onshore. The swell sticks around, but it gets a bit choppy and messy. Not a write-off, but you'll be working for 'em.
Now, here is the real standout. Hold onto your board. The end of the second week, from Friday the 18th afternoon, builds into an incredible run. Friday afternoon sees a clean 5ft NW swell (12s period) with offshore ENE winds. Then from Saturday the 19th morning, things get serious for experienced surfers only. Monday the 21st is the absolute pick. We're looking at a 7ft NW groundswell, period hitting 14 seconds with a combined energy of 1688 (moderate to strong). ESE winds are light and cross-offshore. This is excellent surf for those who know what they're doing, but it's big and powerful and a lot for a beginner. Tuesday the 22nd morning is slightly bigger at 8ft and even more energy (2005) before easing off.
Water temp is sitting around 69°, which is normal for this time of year, so no surprises there, just a good old shorty is probably all you need. Los Locos is a consistent, exposed NW reef that loves this direction, and it's the only break in the game here. Crowds are a possibility, especially when it's this good, so get amongst it early.
The swell slowly fades out from Wednesday the 23rd into the end of the period. Things get smaller and the wind turns back onshore by Friday the 25th, so your window closes. That run from the 18th afternoon through to the 22nd is the magic you don't want to miss.
Rusty.

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).
