G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve got a look at what’s coming up for Los Locos over the next couple of weeks. It’s gonna be a real mixed bag, with plenty of flat spells and only a few moments where it’s worth paddling out. The water’s running at 71° which is more than 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s pretty notable, and it’ll feel like a bath on those glassy mornings.

Right from the start, there’s a bit of action straight away. Sunday morning, 5th July, we’ve got a small but clean 2 ft swell out of the NW with a period of 11 seconds – that’s a nice long-period groundswell. Combined swell energy is only 76 (weak), so nothing powerful, but the wind’s a gentle cross-off breeze from the ENE at 9 mph. Conditions are clean, and for a beginner-friendly spot that’s consistent, this is a decent little window. Just a heads up – crowds are often here, so expect company.

Monday morning, 6th July, is similar: 2 ft NW swell, 9-second period, light ENE cross-off wind at 6 mph. Clean again, but energy is a weak 70. It’s surfable but very ordinary – don’t get too excited.

Then we hit a real dry spell. From Tuesday 7th July right through to Saturday 11th July, it’s pretty much all poor surf conditions. Winds swing cross-onshore, mostly from the WNW or W, and swell drops to 0.7–2 ft. The energy is in the 20s and 30s – barely a ripple. Not worth the drive.

Thursday 9th July morning has a moment of glassy conditions with a 1 ft WNW swell, 10-second period, 41 energy – but still very ordinary. It’s clean, but tiny.

Sunday 12th July brings a slight lift: 2 ft NW swell, 9–10 second period, with light offshore NNE winds at 6 mph. Energy creeps up to 85 (still weak), but it’s clean and surfable. Again, very ordinary but the best we’ve seen in days.

Monday 13th July has a bigger bump – 3 ft NW swell with a short 8-second period, energy hitting 104 (moderate). But the wind’s cross-shore from the NW, and the wave comment is poor. The short period means it’ll be weak and bumpy. Same story Tuesday 14th July: 3 ft NNW swell, 7-second period, 134 energy, but clean with light NNE cross-off wind. Surfable but ordinary – the period’s too short for real quality.

Wednesday 15th July morning is glassy with a tiny 2 ft NNW swell, 6-second period, 51 energy. It’s clean, but barely rideable. Then the wind picks up and the rest of the week stays messy.

Now, here’s the standout – but it’s a painful one. Friday 17th July has a solid 5 ft NNW swell building to 6 ft NW swell by the afternoon, with a 9-second period. Combined energy jumps to 293 and then 516 – that’s strong wave energy. But the wind is cross-onshore from the WNW at 12–16 mph, and conditions are poor. For a consistent beginner setup like Los Locos, this is too big and choppy – it’s more of a kitesurfing show than a clean paddle session.

Saturday 18th July sees a peak: 6–6 ft NW swell, 9-second period, energy up to 639 – very strong. But again, cross-onshore winds ruin it. The wave comment is poor both morning and afternoon. Not for paddling.

Sunday 19th July afternoon finally improves: 3 ft NNW swell, 8-second period, light N cross-off wind at 6 mph, 141 energy (moderate). Conditions are clean and surfable – ordinary but rideable. Monday 20th July is similar: 3 ft NNW swell, 7-second period, offshore NE wind at 3–9 mph, energy around 76–79 (weak). Clean and gentle offshore, but nothing special.

Overall, the best bet is Sunday 5th July morning – it’s small and clean with that 11-second period groundswell, making it the pick for beginners and longboarders. The other window is Sunday 12th July. Everything else is either flat, choppy, or too short-period to be any fun. For a consistent spot, this is a lean run – but it won’t stay poor forever.

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.
