The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the surf ahead.
The coming weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s a real standout window if you’re patient. We start off slow, with some small, weak stuff that’s not worth paddling out for. The real action kicks in from the weekend and into the following week.
Let’s talk about Los Locos. The water temp is sitting at 72°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Thursday, August 27th is flat. Glassy conditions early with a tiny 1ft NW swell, but the energy is super weak (22). It’s a write-off.
Friday, August 28th shows a bit more life. A NW swell picks up to 4ft by morning, but the period is short at 7 seconds, making for weak, bumpy waves. The energy is still moderate (212). Not the best.
The first real glimmer comes Saturday, August 29th afternoon. We get a clean 5ft NW swell, with a cross-offshore breeze. It’s surfable, but still not the highlight.
Sunday, August 30th morning is a beauty. Glassy conditions, clean 5ft NW swell with a nice 10-second period. The energy is ramping up (430). This is a solid, fun session.
Monday, August 31st morning is glassy again with 5ft NW swell (409 energy). Then Monday afternoon? That’s where it gets really good. A clean 5ft NW swell, with a longer 11-second period and a gentle offshore wind from the NE. The energy jumps to (722). That’s a proper session for the experienced crew.
After a drop in size and quality on Tuesday, September 1st, the surf goes quiet again through the middle of the week with only small, weak waves.
Now, here’s the standout. Look at Saturday, September 5th. By the afternoon, the swell builds to a solid 6ft from the NW, with a long 13-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy (1003), and it’s coming in with a clean, moderate offshore breeze from the NE. This is the best on offer – excellent conditions for experienced surfers. This is the one to circle on the calendar.
Sunday, September 6th holds the size with 6ft NW swell and a long 11-second period. Glassy conditions in the afternoon make for another fantastic day. The energy is still pumping (676).
The size fades through the second week, but there are still clean, fun windows. Thursday, September 10th has a glassy morning with 4ft NW swell (329 energy) and a gentle offshore in the afternoon. A solid option for a dawny.
The long-range stuff around September 11th gets small again, but with clean offshore winds, it’s still rideable.
So, to sum it up: the real highlight is the weekend of September 5th and 6th. That’s your best bet for clean, powerful surf. Don’t sleep on it.
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.
