The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it.

Right off the bat, the next week and a half is looking pretty flat and uninspiring here. There’s a wave, sure, but it’s tiny, weak, and lacking any real punch. We’ll be waiting a while for anything that gets the heart rate up. The first real standout I can see is a long way off, so patience is the name of the game.

### Los Locos

The only spot on the menu this period is Los Locos, and it’s a beginner-friendly, consistent break that’s exposed to the NW. The water temp is sitting at 71°, which is about normal for this time of year, so nothing unusual to worry about there.

Tuesday the 11th kicks off with tiny waves, about 2ft from the NW. The morning is glassy with next to no wind, which is lovely for the conditions, but the swell energy is weak (76). It’s surfable, but you won’t be getting your pulse up. This same small, weak pattern with offshores or glassy conditions carries through Wednesday and Thursday. The waves stay under 3ft, and the energy is pathetic. Honestly, it’s a session for a longboard or a foamboard if you’re desperate for a paddle.

We get a tiny bump on Saturday the 15th. The morning is dead calm and glassy with around 2ft from the N, and the afternoon bumps up to about 3ft from the N with a light cross-offshore wind. The swell energy is still barely 100. It’s the best of a bad bunch for the first week, but I wouldn’t rearrange your life for it.

There’s a notable gap of small, weak, or blown-out conditions from the 16th right through to the 21st. Some days have rain and moderate cross-shore winds that ruin any chance of a good wave. The swell energy stays low, mostly under 100. This spot is consistent in the sense that it always has a wave, but for the next 10 days, “surfable” is the kindest word I can use.

Now, if you can hold out until late in the period, we finally get something worth talking about.

The standout arrives around Sunday the 23rd of August. The morning looks unreal: glassy conditions with about 3ft swell from the NW, and a solid energy reading of 162. The afternoon is even sweeter with a clean, 15 mph offshore wind from the NE and the same 3ft NW swell. This is the pick of the whole outlook. Clean, lined up, and manageable.

Following that, the 24th and 25th see the swell jump to 4ft and 5ft from the NW, but the wind gets messy – cross-onshore or cross-shore chop. However, the morning of Tuesday the 25th is a beauty. It’s glassy again, with a 5ft NW groundswell (10-second period) and a big energy reading of 421. That’s a lot of power for this spot. The period is long enough to suggest good shape, but the NW direction is right in the pocket for Los Locos. This one is for the experienced crew; the size is pushing into expert territory and those sets will have some punch. It’s a promising call this far out, but worth marking on the calendar.

After that, the 26th fades a bit with onshore winds. So, for this 16-day window, your real window is that Sunday the 23rd and Tuesday the 25th. The rest is small, weak, or blown out.

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.
