The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s cut through the chatter and get straight to it. I’ve looked over what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be honest with you – it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long run of iffy conditions with very few windows that are worth paddling out for. The outlook is real quiet for days on end, so patience is the name of the game.
Right now, things start off bleak. From Thursday the 16th of July all the way through to late in the month, the setup is poor. The winds are hammering straight onshore from the north-northeast at 9 to 16 mph, and that’s just trashing the surface. The swell is on the small side early on, around the 3 ft mark from the northeast, rocking a short period of 5 to 6 seconds. The combined energy is weak, sitting down at 96 to 173, so there’s just no push. It’s messy, it’s weak, and it’s not worth your time.
As we move into the second half of July, the swell does start to build. By the 23rd of July we’re seeing 7 ft from the north-northeast, but the period is still short at 8 seconds and the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore from the north. The energy climbs into the moderate range, hitting 593, but the poor conditions stick.
The one period that gets close to interesting is around the 26th and 27th of July. The swell bumps up to 10 ft from the north-northeast with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is strong, hitting 1285. That’s a lot of water moving. The winds ease to a gentler 9 mph cross-onshore on the morning of Sunday the 26th. But here’s the kicker – at that size, over 8 ft, it’s only for experts, and for a beginner-friendly beach and reef break like Los Enanos, it’s predicted to be too big. The wind and tide are favorable, but the swell overpowers the spot.
Honestly, the whole 16-day window is a write-off for good paddle surfing. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing with that consistent onshore wind and building swell. There are no standout days, no hidden gems here. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual. Forecasts can change, but as it stands now, leave the board at home and do something else.
Rusty.

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.
