The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, switchin’ to the old standard.
The first few days are a struggle. The wind is cross-onshore, the surf is choppy and weak, and you’re not gonna find much to ride from the 21st through the 23rd. The swell energy is low (around 688 to 820), and it’s just bumpy, messy lines.
It starts to get a little more interesting around the 24th and 25th. The wave size drops a bit, but the period jumps up to 24 seconds on the 24th morning – that’s real long-interval groundswell. The energy goes up to 1211, which is solid. The wind is lighter but still cross-on. The surf is still a bit marginal, tide might be playing games, but there’s potential.
The real standout is the 28th, Tuesday morning. The swell is 1.4m from the SW, period at 17 seconds, and the wind is light and offshore. That’s clean, powerful groundswell – combined energy hits 1522. That’s the best session of the forecast. The waves will have shape and push.
After that, the swell fades slowly through the 29th and 30th, still rideable with lighter winds. By the 31st, it’s back to small, weak, and choppy. A little bump on the 1st of August, but the wind is onshore again, making it sloppy. The rest of the run is small and weak.
Bottom line: get after the 28th. That’s the one.
Rusty.

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 Ensenada Beaches 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.
