The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Los Locos has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first real action kicks off Monday the 14th. It’s not huge, but that morning you’ll find clean 4ft waves from the NW with a nice 12-second period pushing in. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it’s going to be tidy. The energy is moderate (333), and it’s a good one for getting the arms going. Monday afternoon stays clean with a moderate offshore breeze and similar 3ft swell.
Tuesday the 15th is a write-off, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. The wind swings onshore, the swell drops to knee-high, and it gets choppy. Wednesday the 16th isn’t much better – the swell bumps up to 5ft, but the period drops to a short 7 seconds and there’s rain and cross-shore wind making it messy. Thursday the 17th stays in that same frustrating zone: 5-5ft of NW swell, but it’s cross-shore and a bit lumpy, not really giving you anything clean to work with.
Now, hold onto your board, because Friday the 18th afternoon is where things get serious. A solid 8ft groundswell from the NNW rolls in with a very long 15-second period. The energy jumps to strong (2469). The wind goes cross-offshore, and it’s clean. This is big – over 8ft, so this is strictly for the experienced crew. The wave shape will be proper, but that long period might make it a bit straight at the beach, so look for a bank that can handle it.
Saturday the 19th keeps the fire burning. Morning brings 8ft from the NW at 13 seconds, still cross-offshore and clean. Afternoon sees the wind swing fully offshore, cleaning up 7ft waves. Both sessions are excellent for those who know what they’re doing.
Sunday the 20th eases back a notch, with clean 4ft waves in the morning under light cross-offshore winds and a moderate offshore in the afternoon. Nice, manageable, and fun.
Then, Monday the 21st is another standout. Morning has 7ft from the NW with a 14-second period, clean and cross-offshore. The energy is strong (1560). Afternoon is even cleaner with a solid offshore wind. Excellent conditions for the experienced surfer.
Tuesday the 22nd is a gem. The morning is absolutely glassy – no wind at all, 6ft of NW groundswell at 13 seconds. This is as good as it gets for clean conditions. The afternoon stays clean with a gentle offshore breeze. Perfect.
The rest of the week from Wednesday the 23rd through Thursday the 24th is still fun, with waist to chest-high clean waves and offshore breezes, but the energy drops. Friday the 25th gets blown out by strong winds, so skip it.
Into the second week, things taper off. Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th are small and clean, with Sunday morning going glassy but only offering 1ft of swell. The energy is weak (56). Monday the 28th is a write-off with onshore winds and tiny surf. Tuesday the 29th gives a tiny 2ft glassy wave in the morning, but it’s barely surfable.
Bottom line: the best of the best is that Friday afternoon the 18th through Tuesday the 22nd. That’s your window for real, quality, powerful surf. Don’t waste 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.
