The Lowdown
Alright, let’s chat about Tocones. For the next couple of weeks, the surf story is pretty bleak – mostly small, choppy waves with wind messing things up. From now until the morning of Sunday, August 17th, there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for – that’s nearly a week of poor conditions.
Water temp here is 84°, which is just a hair warmer than average for this time of year – feels like a warm bath.
The one real highlight comes on the morning of Monday, August 17th. We’ll have a cross-offshore breeze from the SE (12 mph) and a clean, 5ft swell rolling in from the east with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy hits 550 – that’s moderate energy and actually feels like a proper wave. Tocones is a consistent reef break, exposed to the north, and for a beginner-friendly spot, that clean glassy look is the standout. The afternoon of the 17th stays similar – 5ft east swell, 9-second period, 572 energy, still clean. Tuesday the 18th drops off to 4ft and 276 energy, still clean in the morning, but fading.
After that window, it’s back to small, choppy, or just plain poor surf. Most days show combined energy under 200 – not enough push for a decent ride. No other standouts in the second week; it’s mostly flat and messy.
So, your best bet is that Monday, August 17th morning session. After that, you’re just waiting again.

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.
