Right, pull up a seat. Rusty here.
Honestly, this is one of those outlooks where you might want to save the wax for another week. The whole 16-day window for Tocones is a bit of a non-event. We're looking at a long, flat stretch with nothing that really gets the heart pumping. The first proper surf window doesn't even appear until Tuesday the 8th, and even then it's a struggle. There are gaps of several days where the ocean’s basically just a lake.
We've got a consistent onshore breeze from the East at 19 mph to 19 mph, which keeps everything lumpy and cross-chop. The swell direction never really swings around to the North optimum the reef craves, so it's just a messy, weak east pulse. The wave energy is low to moderate for the most part, rarely topping a combined energy of 206, and that's about as good as it gets, which isn't saying much. The period is short—only 6 to 8 seconds—so it’s all wind-slop, not real groundswell.
If you’re absolutely desperate for a paddle Wednesday afternoon the 9th, the wind gets a touch better. It swings to a cross-offshore out of the East at 16 mph, which cleans the surface up a bit. At 5 ft (262) from the East with a 7-second period, the wave faces will be fuller, but the quality is still poor. It’s a beginner reef, but with that constant onshore wind, it's not going to be the fun, peeling wave you want. It’s more of a washing machine.
Heading into the second week, nothing really changes. The wind is relentless, the swell stays small and weak, and the wave energy is a whisper. The afternoon of Sunday the 20th offers a clean, cross-off breeze but the swell is only 4 ft (146) and the period is still short. The water temp is average for this time of year. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer if the wind holds. The ratings are all zero across the board for a reason.
It’s a stubborn run of doldrums. It tends not to stay this poor for long around here, so forecasts can change. For now, keep the board in the car and find something else to do.
Rusty.

Information about the Tocones Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Tocones provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tocones can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tocones 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 (Tocones) 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 Tocones 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.
