The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s coming up for Los Locos. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but things are about to get real good.
The first proper surf we’ll see arrives on Sunday the 27th of July. The wait is worth it. Monday morning, the 27th, is the standout. We’ll have a solid 6ft swell from the NNW, and the wind is going to be glassy—absolutely zero wind. That’s about as clean as it gets. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, coming in at 72°. The wave energy is strong (716), so expect some proper push. This is the pick of the forecast.
Through Monday afternoon, the wind swings offshore from the NE at 16 mph, keeping the 5ft NNW swell clean. The energy drops a notch (526) but still packs a punch. Tuesday the 28th stays good, with a dropping 4ft to 4ft NW swell, and offshore to cross-offshore winds. The quality is still there for a fun session.
After that, things go quiet. From Wednesday the 29th of July through to the 5th of August, we’re looking at mostly small, weak, or choppy conditions. The swell drops under 3ft, and the energy is weak (under 100). The wind is often cross or cross-on, so it’s not worth paddling out for. There’s a gap of about a week of poor to ordinary surf.
We get a little pulse back on the 6th of August, with a 4ft to 4ft NW swell, but the wind is cross-on or cross, making it choppy and messy. The energy is moderate (227-284), but the conditions kill it. Friday the 7th of August is similar, with a touch more swell (5ft) but the wind is still cross-on, so it’s a no-go.
A small window appears on the 9th of August during the morning with a glassy 3ft NW swell and moderate energy (115). It’s surfable, but nothing special. After that, the swell fades again.
So, the clear winner is Monday the 27th of July. Get on it for the cleanest, most powerful surf of the whole period.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
