The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days at Tocones are a tough stretch. We’re looking at a run of predominantly poor surf, with a lot of cross-shore wind and a short, weak period swell that just doesn’t have the juice. The water temp is sitting at a warm 84°F, which is about average for the time of year, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit.
The first solid sign of anything surfable doesn’t show up until the morning of Thursday, 23rd July. Even then, it’s a modest 3ft from the ENE with a 7-second period, and the combined energy is only moderate (104). The wind turns cross-off, so the surface will be clean, but it’s not going to blow your mind. That clean, cross-off wind sticks around through the afternoon and into the next morning, but the swell stays small and weak.
The best of a bad bunch looks like it’s shaping up for the afternoon of Saturday, 25th July. We see a bump in swell to 5ft from the ENE, with the period stretching to 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 204. It’s a bit more push, but the wind is still cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. It’s the most size you’ll get, but it’s not the cleanest.
The following Sunday, 26th July, sees a jump in combined energy to 332 in the afternoon, but the swell is still only 4ft from the E, and the cross-shore wind keeps it messy. For a spot like Tocones, exposed to the north, this ENE/E wind is just not playing ball. The optimum swell direction is from the north, and we’re not seeing that.
Honestly, there’s no standout window here. The consistent short-period swell (7-8 seconds) means the waves will be weak and crumbly, not holding any real shape. With the wind and the small size, this setup actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Keep the board in the car and wait for a change in the pattern.
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.
