The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's shaping up at Los Locos.
Right off the bat, this stretch looks like a slow burner. We’ve got a few days of tiny, poor-quality surf to start with, so don't rush to wet a line just yet. The water temp is sitting right around 70°, which is dead normal for this time of year in these parts.
Tuesday, September 8th through Saturday, September 12th are pretty dead. The swell is small, well under the 3ft mark, with wind mostly onshore or light. The only notable moment is Friday morning (Sep 11) and Saturday morning (Sep 12) when it goes glassy with that slight air, and we're talking little knee-high bumps (2ft). It’s surfable, but you won't be writing home about it.
Then things finally wake up. Sunday, September 13th is the real standout. Solid 5.2ft of NNW groundswell (a good 13-second period) with clean, offshore ENE winds all day. There's proper power behind it. The offshore breeze (moderate in the arvo) will groom it up nicely. This is the best window here—aim for Sunday morning (Sep 13).
Monday, September 14th holds plenty of size (4.2ft) and clean conditions, though the swell drops off gradually through the week. A smaller but glassy window on Thursday morning, September 17th (1.3ft, glassy) is worth a mention for the absolute quiet sessions.
After a bit of a rough spell mid-week around September 16th-17th with onshore crud, we get another true standout. Sunday, September 20th brings a return of quality: a solid 4.2-4.6ft NNW swell with offshore NE winds. That morning looks clean and groomed, a proper runner to finish the forecast window.
Summary: Patience is the name of the game. The first half of the week is for cleaning the wetsuit, but Sunday the 13th and Sunday the 20th are the real gems. For the 13th, the waves are big enough (5.2ft) to be fun for the average surfer but start getting a bit chunky for beginners. The consistent, offshore winds and exposed NW angle make Los Locos a clean, rippable bank.
