The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the stretch ahead at Los Locos. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s definitely a window of fire hiding in there if you’re patient.
The first couple of days are pretty average. The swell is on the small side, and the wind is messy – not really worth getting too excited about. You’re looking at knee to maybe waist-high stuff with a bit of chop on it. It’s the kind of surf that has you checking the forecast more than your board. The water temp is sitting at 71°F, which is right around normal for this time of year, so a good summer wetsuit is all you’ll need.
Then things start to pick up on the 31st. Monday afternoon, the wind swings offshore and that NW swell bumps up a touch. It’s still not huge, but the clean conditions are going to make it feel a lot better than the numbers suggest. Tuesday looks similar, with a light offshore flow keeping it clean, though the swell drops back a bit. It’s a good time to get some fun, easy waves without the crowd's chaos.
The real standout, the one we’ve all been waiting for, is that Friday to Saturday window. On Friday the 4th, that swell starts to build properly. The period jumps way up, and the energy is starting to get serious. By Saturday the 5th, we’ve got a proper pulse. We’re looking at solid 7ft of NW groundswell with a long 14-second period. The energy reading is 1824, which is some serious juice. The wind is light and offshore in the morning, so it should be absolutely glassy for the dawn patrol. This is the one to circle on the calendar. This is a proper expert wave, though – at that size, it’s not for the faint of heart. The beach break might get a bit shifty with that long period, but the power is going to be incredible.
After that, the energy fades pretty fast. Sunday the 6th is still okay, but it’s dropping. From Monday the 7th through the rest of the window, it gets pretty small and inconsistent. There are a few glassy mornings, but the swell just isn't there. It’s a lot of ankle-biters and closeouts. If you’ve seen the Saturday forecast, you’ll know it’s worth holding out for. There's a good chance this won't be the last pulse of the season, though; these things can change.
All in all, the next 16 days are a classic case of quality over quantity. Don't waste your energy on the small stuff, save it for that Saturday session.
Rusty out.
