The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Right off the bat, the first few days are a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a little bump of swell on Wednesday the 22nd, but it’s short-period stuff at just 6 seconds, and while the wind is offshore, the energy is weak (89 combined energy). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Thursday through Saturday the 25th is a no-go with poor conditions and messy cross-onshore winds that’ll have you fighting chop.
The first real standout arrives on Monday the 27th. The morning kicks off with a clean 4ft swell from the NNW, a 10-second period, and very light offshore breeze. The combined energy jumps to 365 (moderate), and the waves will have some real push. The afternoon holds up just as well with a 5ft swell and clean offshore conditions. This is the best window in the entire forecast. If you can get out, do it.
Tuesday the 28th is a solid follow-up. Clean surf in the morning with a 4ft swell, and the afternoon brings a 4ft NW swell with a long 11-second period and offshore wind. Combined energy is 386 (moderate). These two days, Monday and Tuesday, are your best bets.
The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild there.
After that, the forecast drops off again. Wednesday the 29th turns poor with cross-onshore wind, and the pattern stays messy right through the first week of August. There’s a brief moment on Sunday the 2nd of August and Monday the 3rd where things clean up, but the swell is small (2ft to 3ft) and the energy is weak. It’s surfable but nothing to write home about. The 4th of August has a glassy morning on a tiny 2ft swell, but that’s really for the longboard or a recovery session.
Overall, the best on offer is the Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th. The swell direction is a solid NW, which is the optimum for Los Locos, the wind is offshore, and the energy is moderate. Get it while it’s clean.
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.
