The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve been staring at this forecast for what feels like forever, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The water is absolutely roasting right now, way warmer than usual for this time of year, which is a nice bonus. The wait for the first real surf of the period is a bit of a drag, but there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

We start off with a bit of a dead run. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th are basically a write-off. The swell is tiny, barely a ripple, so don’t bother paddling out. Monday morning the 20th is where things finally start to look interesting. It’s not a monster, but a clean 5ft swell from the North with a short period is on the way, and the wind is glassy. That’s a solid combo for a spot like Los Locos, which is exposed to the NW and handles that direction well. The combined energy (243) is moderate, so there’s some push behind it. The afternoon holds up with a bit more size at 5ft from the NNE, but the wind picks up to a moderate offshore. It’s still clean, but the morning glass is the real standout.

The standout of the whole period, though, is Monday the 27th. We’ve got a nice 4ft groundswell from the NW, and the period is a solid 10 seconds. That’s going to give these waves some proper shape and power. The morning is glassy, absolutely perfect conditions. The combined energy (263) is solid, and the wind is light. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The afternoon still looks clean with a cross-offshore breeze, but the morning is a lock.

Tuesday the 21st is a bit of a drop-off, with the swell hanging around the 4ft to 5ft mark but the period is short and choppy. It’s surfable, but nothing to get too excited about. The rest of the week into the following week is a mix of smaller, clean waves and some cross-off days, but nothing that reaches the quality of that Monday the 27th. There’s a brief bump on the 26th with a 4ft swell from the NNW (207 combined energy) and clean conditions in the afternoon, but it’s not the standout.

The second week of the forecast is a bit quieter. The good news is a few mornings with glassy conditions and small, clean lines, but the size is mostly under 3ft. The period on the 27th is the one to remember, as it’s the only time we get that long-period groundswell.

So, to sum it up: the best on offer is Monday morning, the 27th of July at Los Locos. Get there early for the glassy conditions, the 4ft NW groundswell with a 10-second period, and you’ll have a great session. The crowds there are often on the cards, so timing is everything. The early part of the window is a slow burn, but it comes good.

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.
