The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for Los Locos.
Right off the bat, the water is running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 71°F, so you can leave the thick rubber at home. The next few days have some clean little windows, but the real standout is shaping up to be that first Saturday in September. We’ve got a proper pulse of long-period groundswell from the NW, hitting 4ft with a 14-second period and combined energy reading a beefy 904. That’s a serious amount of push, and with glassy conditions in the morning, it’s going to be the pick of the fortnight. Just keep in mind, with that long period, it might wall up a bit at the beach, but Los Locos is exposed and should handle it nicely.
Before that, there’s a bit of a lull. Monday afternoon the 31st of August sees a drop to 6ft NW with some cross-off wind, still fun but not the peak. Tuesday the 1st of September is glassy in the morning with head-high 4ft NW, which would be a gorgeous session if you can sneak out. After that, Wednesday and Thursday fade right down to ankle-snappers, so you might want to save your energy.
Now, the second week gets interesting again. Thursday the 10th of September lights up with a solid 6ft NW swell and glassy conditions in the morning. By the afternoon it pushes to 7ft NW with clean offshore winds and a combined energy of 838 – that’s big, powerful, and for experienced surfers only. If you’re a beginner, steer clear of that session. There’s also a pulse on the 15th of September, with 6-6ft NW swell and long 12-second periods, but that one comes with a cross-onshore wind, so it might be a bit bumpy and more of a kite-surfing setup than a clean paddle session.
Overall, the best on offer is that Saturday morning (5th of September) with the long-period glassy NW groundswell, and the backup is the clean, powerful morning of Thursday the 10th of September. The rest of the time you’ll have to pick your windows carefully as the swell runs hot and cold.

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.
