The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty comin’ at ya from the lineup.

First off, the story for this stretch is mostly about waitin’ for the good stuff. The first handful of days are a real struggle—small, weak, and cross-onshore junk. We’ve got energy readings barely crackin’ 50 or so, which is just tiny wind slop. Nothing worth paddlin’ out for until we hit Thursday the 27th. That morning, we finally get a little pulse of life: 4ft of NW swell at 8 seconds, glassy conditions, and the combined energy jumps to 133 (moderate). It’s still just “surfable” but at least you won’t be standin’ on the beach babysittin’ a log. The real turn happens Friday the 28th morning, when the swell bumps to 5ft, still NW, and the energy climbs to 256. That’s gettin’ interesting.

Now, the standout—and I mean the only real standout I’d get excited about—is Los Locos. That Saturday morning, the 29th of August, it’s gonna be special. We’ve got 5ft of NW swell, the wind goes glassy from the ENE, and the energy is solid at 415 (strong). The water is a touch warmer than normal at 72°. So that’s nice. This is clean, punchy surf for the intermediate and up. If you’re a beginner, that 5ft might be a bit much, but for everyone else, this is your window. The crowd situation? Expect it to be often busy—it’s a consistent, exposed break that handles that NW groundswell perfectly, and with that kind of clean glass, you’ll have company.

The run from the 29th into Monday the 31st keeps a good rhythm. Monday afternoon sees 6ft of NW swell with a 10-second period, offshore wind from the N, and energy skyrocketin’ to 690 (strong). That’s another top-tier session. Then Tuesday the 1st of September keeps 5ft rolling with offshore NE winds. Good, clean, solid.

But past that, the second week gets flaky. Winds shift cross-onshore and the quality drops. There’s a monster pulse on Monday the 7th of September—8ft to 10ft of NW swell, 19-second period, energy at 5847—but the comment says it all: too big for this break. That’s expert-only territory, and with that long period, it’s gonna be a washing machine at this beach. The cross-onshore wind doesn’t help either. So that one’s a pass unless you’re a madman on a gun.

Bottom line: the best days are Saturday 29th August through Tuesday 1st September. Clean, solid NW swell, good winds, and strong energy. Get in the water then. The rest is a gamble.

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.
