The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – if you’ve got your heart set on a surf at Tocones over the next couple of weeks, you’re gonna need a whole lot of patience and maybe a different hobby. There’s nothing in the pipeline that’s worth paddling out for.
The whole 16-day window out at Tocones is a flat, featureless run. From Sunday the 26th of July all the way through to Monday the 10th of August, every single report is a "poor surf conditions" call. The swell barely gets its act together, and the wind is a constant cross or cross-off shore breeze – mostly from the east around 16 mph, occasionally picking up to 19 mph. While that cross-off wind keeps the surface clean on some mornings, there’s just no power in the water to ride.
The biggest bump we see is on Wednesday the 29th of July, into Thursday the 30th, where the swell pushes up to about 5 ft out of the east with a period of 7 to 8 seconds. That’s weak, short-period windswell, with combined energy readings hitting 219 (moderate) and 274 (moderate). That’s the best of the worst, but it’s still a messy, crumbly wave with no shape. The water is sitting at 84° with a temperature anomaly of 0.9°, so it’s about average for the time of year.
After a brief lull, there’s a tiny uptick on Saturday the 8th of August with 3 ft east swell and a 6-second period, but the energy is only 136 (moderate) and the wind goes back to cross-shore. It’s not surfable, just a bump on the surface.
The long-range stuff around the 10th of August is a joke – 1 ft swell with a 10-second period from the north-northeast, which is a longer period but the height is barely a ripple. The combined energy is a measly 56 (weak). You’d be better off swimming.
Bottom line: not a single recommendable wave in the whole outlook. It’s a dead period for Tocones. The break is consistent but the swell just isn’t showing up. Hopefully the forecasts change, but for now, leave the board at home.
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.
