The Lowdown
Right, I’ve had a good look at the charts for the next 16 days, and I’m not gonna lie to you, it’s a tough stretch. There’s no proper stand-out window here, and honestly, for the whole run, we’re looking at pretty poor surf. It’s a real flat spell with onshore wind dominating most of the time, so don’t go getting your hopes up for any clean, proper waves.
We start off on Sunday the 9th of August, and it’s messy. The swell is small, about 4 ft from the NNE, but the wind is a moderate cross-on, blowing at 12 mph. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 75°. The wave energy is weak to moderate (214). It’s just not inviting. The whole first week is basically the same story: onshore wind from the NNE, choppy, poor conditions. The swell does build a little towards the 15th and 16th, hitting 6 ft, but with the onshore wind, it’s just a bumpy, blown-out mess. The energy picks up a bit (464) but it’s not doing us any favours with the wind. That’s a lot of bumpy water for a beginner, and for a more experienced surfer, it’s just not organised.
The second week, from the 17th onward, the swell drops right back down, barely pushing 3 ft. The wind stays mostly onshore, though it does lighten up to a light breeze on the 19th, which is a bit of a tease. The energy levels are weak, under 200. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for surfing. The break here is Los Enanos, a beach and reef setup, but with the wind howling onshore and the swell short-period, it’s more of a kite-surfing playground than a surfer’s spot right now. There’s just nothing to recommend.

Information about the Los Enanos Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Los Enanos provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Los Enanos can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Los Enanos 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 (Los Enanos) 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 Los Enanos 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.
