The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the numbers are up, and this 16-day window for Tocones is a bit of a heartbreaker. We’ve got a solid run of small, messy, or just plain poor surf conditions stretching from now, right through the first week. There’s a long gap of days with no real recommendations, and the whole outlook is a waiting game for a few brief windows that might be worth a paddle.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Thursday the 10th of September. The mornings are showing a combined swell energy of 341 (moderate), with a 4ft swell from the east at a short period of 7 seconds. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the ESE at 15 mph, which is a big positive. It’s listed as marginal, but for a break like Tocones (a reef setup), a clean east swell with the wind off the land is your best bet. The water temp is a warm 85°F, with a water temperature anomaly of 1°F, so it’s about average for this time of year, nothing too unusual.
The next standout is on Monday the 14th of September. Another morning session with a 4ft east swell (7 seconds) and a clean cross-off breeze. The combined energy is 290 (moderate). It’s similar to the 10th, but the swell period is a touch shorter, so it’s not quite as good. The water temp is still in that warm range, making it a comfortable wait.
The absolute best on offer, though, is the Thursday the 10th morning. That 4ft swell combined with moderate energy (341) and clean cross-off wind is the only real standout in the whole 16 days. The swell direction (E) matches the optimum swell direction for the break (N) reasonably well on a reef. It’s not a huge day, but it’s the cleanest and most consistent window we’ve got.
The rest of the period is a washout. The second week is mostly the same story: small, weak swells (mostly under 3ft) with short periods and cross-shore winds. The combined energy rarely breaks 100, and the scores are all zeros. It’s a tough run, but it doesn’t stay poor forever. If you’re chasing something, the 10th is your only real shot.
Rusty out.

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.
