The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty again, here’s the rundown in feet and knots for Los Locos.
The forecast kicks off slowly. Saturday the 5th is a non-starter with a 4ft NW swell and cross-off winds making it marginal. Wave energy is moderate (565). Water temp is normal for this time of year.
Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th stay small and messy, though Monday morning on the 7th goes glassy with a clean 2ft groundswell from the WNW. That 15-second period is long, so you’ll get some nice shape but long waits. Energy is low (365), but the glass is a big plus for the dawn patrol. Tuesday the 8th is trashed by onshore wind.
Here’s the highlight – Wednesday the 9th. This is the one. We’ve got a clean 6ft NW groundswell with a 13-second period and glassy conditions in the morning. The energy is pumping at 1116. This is for experts only at over 5ft. Offshore winds in the afternoon keep it clean. Mark it on your calendar.
Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th drop off with cross-onshore winds ruining things. Sunday the 13th gives you some clean 3ft to 3ft NW swell with light cross-off winds – a decent, small wave day.
The second week from the 14th on is mostly small or wind-blown. Tuesday the 15th has a long-period NW groundswell (15-16 seconds) but with a moderate cross-shore chop that kills the surface. Energy is moderate (672) in the afternoon, but it’s marginal. Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th stay poor. Friday the 18th offers a small, glassy 2ft morning, but it’s barely worth getting wet. The rest fizzles out into tiny, clean but weak surf.
Bottom line: Wednesday the 9th is your killer day – big, clean, glassy NW groundswell for the experienced. Beginners can look at the small glassy windows on Monday the 7th or Friday the 18th. Crowds are often here, so don’t expect to have it to yourself on the good days.
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.
