The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. Rusty here.
We've got a bit of a mixed bag coming our way for Los Locos. The surf's going to be on and off, with some decent windows and some real duds. Let's break it down.
Right from the start, Tuesday morning the 25th is pretty average – just 2ft of weak, short-period swell from the NW with a light crosswind.
Wednesday the 26th morning is worth checking out. The swell is a tiny 1ft but it's got a long period of 10 seconds and the wind is glassy. It'll be clean, but small. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Thursday the 27th is a write-off with onshore winds.
Friday the 28th gets messy. The swell builds to 5ft in the morning and then 8ft by the afternoon, but it's accompanied by a fresh cross-shore breeze that'll chop it up. The combined energy is moderate (381) in the morning, jumping to strong (1171) in the arvo, but the quality just isn't there for a good paddle.
Saturday morning August 29th is our first standout. We've got a clean 5ft NW swell under glassy offshore easterly winds. The combined energy is a solid moderate (313) and the conditions are clean and glassy. This is the best early call for a fun session. The afternoon stays clean but drops a touch.
Sunday the 30th starts off completely glassy with a 4ft NW swell, but it's only average. The wind dies off completely, making for a very clean start.
Things go to poor conditions from Monday the 31st through to Saturday the 5th of September. There's a long run of onshore winds and chop, making for a pretty frustrating week.
Sunday morning September 6th is the big tease. We've got a beautiful looking 6ft NW groundswell with a long 12-second period, and a light offshore ESE breeze. The combined energy is strong (812) and the conditions are clean. This is honestly the best-looking surf in the whole 16-day window, but it's over a week away, so keep your fingers crossed. That long period might make it a little fast at the beach break though.
Monday the 7th gets blown out by a strong breeze.
Tuesday September 8th however... this one is for the experts only. The swell is a massive 10ft from the NW with a very long 15-second period. That's a lot of juice (3822 combined energy in the morning). The wind is favourable and it's clean in the afternoon, but it's just way too big for most. This spot is exposed and is going to be a heavy, closed-out mess for the average surfer.
After that, Wednesday the 9th morning shapes up nicely to finish the forecast, with a glassy 5ft NW swell and a decent 11-second period.
So, if you're picking your days, Saturday the 29th of August is a sure thing for a clean wave. Keep an eye on Sunday the 6th of September – it's got the potential to be the pick of the run if that wind holds.
Rusty.
