The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. The outlook for Los Enanos is a tough one to swallow. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any kind of decent surf. We’ve got a solid run of swell building through the period, but the wind is just relentless and wrong for the place. The break is a beach-and-reef setup, exposed to the north, and we’re looking at constant onshore and cross-onshore winds from the north and north-northeast. It’s a real shame, because the wave energy actually climbs from moderate in the first few days right up to some very strong readings by the start of August. But with that wind, it’s going to be a messy, choppy, blown-out mess. The swell direction is mostly NNE, which is not the optimum NNW direction the break wants. The water temperature is 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year.
The entire forecast is one long, blank run. There isn’t a single day where the stars align. The wind is either onshore or cross-onshore for the entire two weeks, and the swell is consistently too big for a beginner-friendly spot like this, especially after the 20th of July. By the 29th, the swell is predicted to be over 8 ft, making it expert-only territory, but even then the wind is still onshore. The setup with that much swell and strong onshore wind honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. We’ll have to wait for a change in the weather pattern.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
