The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s cooking for Los Locos over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but don’t write it off – there’s some serious juice arriving later. The first few days are small, but the wind is looking kind, so you can still get a wet suit on and have a splash. The real story here is a big pulse of groundswell that’s set to fire up around the 20th of September, with some serious size and power. It’s a long-range call, so we keep our fingers crossed, but the signs are good.
Thursday the 10th kicks things off with a clean 5 ft NW swell rolling in. The wind is glassy in the morning, a total dream. The combined energy is moderate (374), and the waves will be a bit fat but fun. Afternoon gets a bit of a NE breeze, but it’s offshore, so it stays clean and rippable.
Friday the 11th drops right off. We’re looking at ankle-to-knee high stuff, 2 ft to 3 ft. It’s surfable if you’re desperate, but honestly, it’s pretty ordinary. The wind is good, but there’s just not enough oomph.
Saturday the 12th is even smaller. 2 ft. Poor conditions. Don’t bother.
Now, Sunday the 13th – this is where it gets interesting. The swell jumps back up to 5 ft from the NW, with a period of 13 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell. The energy is strong (735), and it’s glassy in the morning. If you’re there for the dawn patrol, you’ll be smiling. The afternoon stays clean with offshore wind.
Monday the 14th holds in at 4 ft from the NW with a good 11-second period. Light cross-offshore wind in the morning, turning into a stronger offshore in the arvo. Solid, clean waves. Not the standout, but a good day.
Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th are a write-off. The wind swings onshore and the swell gets messy. Rain and even a risk of thunderstorms on Wednesday. The surf is poor, choppy, and cross-shore. Skip it.
Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th stay poor with cross-shore winds, but the swell hangs around 5 ft. It’s not worth paddling out in that mess.
Then, Saturday the 19th is a nice reset. The wind goes light and cross-offshore, and we get a clean 4 ft NW swell. Good fun, but still just a warm-up.
The Standout: Sunday the 20th of September. This is the one. The swell jumps to 8 ft from the NNW, with a period of 16 seconds. The combined energy is massive (3554). This is a powerful, long-period groundswell. The morning is glassy, and the afternoon has a strong offshore wind. This is expert territory – the size is big, and the period is long, so it’ll be challenging at a beach break. It will be best on the peak, but it’s going to be absolutely pumping. Expect crowds, because everyone will be out.
Monday the 21st is nearly as good. 8 ft from the NW, 13-second period. Clean cross-offshore wind in the morning, offshore in the afternoon. The energy is still huge (2636). Another big day for experienced surfers.
The swell slowly fades through the rest of the week. Tuesday the 22nd is still a ripper with 5 ft and glassy conditions. Wednesday the 23rd through Friday the 25th drops back to small, clean, and ordinary. By Friday the 25th, it’s flat and glassy – a good day for a longboard or a swim.
So, circle Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st. That’s the big dance. The rest of the week is mostly small or messy, but those two days are proper.
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.
