The Lowdown

Alright folks, let’s break this down. The next day or two we can pretty much write off. Tuesday afternoon is a washout – a 4ft NW swell but a cross-on W wind making a mess of it. Water temp is 70°, about average for this time of year. Wednesday morning is more of the same with rain showers and chop.

But hold on, Wednesday afternoon the wind swings around and goes light offshore from the north. That cleans up that 4ft NNW swell nicely. Thursday is looking even better. A slight breeze in the morning keeps the 4ft waves clean, and by the afternoon it’s a gentle offshore NE wind with 4ft of groundswell. That’s the kind of glass you dream about.

Friday and Saturday are weak. Swell drops to 2ft, surfable but nothing to call home about.

Now, Sunday the 13th is the one. The swell jumps to 5ft and then 5ft from the NW with a long 13-second period. That’s proper groundswell, lots of energy. The wind is offshore or light cross-off, and conditions look excellent. This is the standout of the whole stretch. Los Locos is a consistent break and with this NW swell and long period, it’s going to have some proper lines. It might be a bit fat on the beach, but there’ll be plenty of push.

Monday the 14th is still good, with 4ft and 4ft waves and offshore winds, but it’s a step down from Sunday’s peak.

The mid-week gets messy again. Tuesday and Wednesday are poor, with cross-onshore winds and junky waves, even though Wednesday afternoon pushes 6ft, it’s not clean. Thursday the 17th has some promise with a good 4-5ft NW swell and offshore winds, but it’s not in the same league as the weekend.

The final week sees the swell taper off. There are some nice glassy mornings, but the waves are small. The very last day, Wednesday the 23rd, has a late kick of long-period NW swell around 5ft, but it’s coming with stronger winds, so treat it cautiously. In summary, if you’re looking for the best waves, circle Sunday the 13th on the calendar.

Rusty out.

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.
