The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s happening at Los Locos in feet and miles per hour.
Water temp is about 71°, just a touch warmer than average for the season. Not a big deal, but nice.
The forecast starts proper on Tuesday morning, 1st September. We’ve got a clean 4ft NW swell, 10-second period, glassy wind out of the east at 3 mph. Wave energy is moderate at 349. Tuesday afternoon stays clean with a 4ft NW swell and a solid offshore NE wind at 12 mph, energy at 281. Good day to paddle out.
Wednesday the 2nd drops to 2ft in the morning with a shorter 8-second period and low energy of 66. Surfable, but nothing special.
The real standout is the weekend. Saturday the 5th afternoon has a 3ft NW groundswell, 11-second period, clean offshore NE wind at 16 mph, energy 241. Then Sunday the 6th morning is the best of the lot: 4ft NW swell, 12-second period, clean cross-offshore wind, strong energy of 446. Sunday afternoon holds at 4ft with 11-second period, offshore wind, energy 322. That’s the pick. Clean, consistent, and punchy.
Monday the 7th morning gets a bit choppy with a cross-onshore wind and a 2ft swell, but the afternoon cleans up with a 3ft NW swell, cross-offshore wind, and energy 323.
Tuesday the 8th is glassy again in the morning with 4ft NW swell, 10-second period, energy 252. Another great session.
The following week stays clean. Wednesday the 9th afternoon has 4ft NW swell, clean cross-offshore wind, energy 356. Thursday the 10th is glassy in the morning with 4ft NW swell, energy 312, and the afternoon holds a 4ft NNW swell with offshore NE wind, energy 341. Another quality day.
From Friday the 11th onward, the size drops a little, but winds stay good. The 14th of September (Monday afternoon) brings a 2ft NNW swell with a very long 15-second period, offshore wind, and energy 233. That’s a long-period groundswell, so long waits between sets, but shape at Los Locos should be solid. The 15th and 16th look clean with 3ft to 4ft NW swell, glassy or offshore winds, and energy climbing to 459 by Wednesday afternoon.
Los Locos is a consistent, exposed NW spot, and it’s beginner-friendly. Expect crowds often, but with this much clean swell, there’ll be waves for everyone.
The standout is clearly the weekend of the 5th and 6th of September, with Sunday morning being the absolute best.
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.
