The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break it down in feet and miles.
It’s a pretty grim forecast for the next couple of weeks. There’s a huge gap of flat or blown-out conditions from now until mid-September. The only real chance to get wet is right at the very end.
Your first and only real hope shows up on Wednesday, 18 September, at Los Enanos. This spot is a beach and reef break, and it’s very consistent, so it’s usually got something. For that morning, the ocean will be glassy – dead calm, which is a gift. A light NNE swell will roll in at about 4ft, with a 10-second period, so it’s got some decent groundswell energy. The combined energy is moderate (320). Water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year.
The wind is almost non-existent, so the surface will be clean. But honestly, the overall quality of the surf is still poor for the entire run-up, and even this session isn't a cracker. It’s just the only one that’s not a total loss.
If you’re a beginner, that 4ft is manageable. For the rest of us, it's more of a "see if it shapes up" kind of day. The swell is coming from the NNE, which isn't its ideal direction, but you take what you can get. Crowds can be a thing here, but I wouldn’t worry about a crowd for this.
So that’s the story. One glassy morning of small waves at the end of a long, quiet period. The rest of the forecast is a dud for paddle surfing. If the wind picks up, it’ll be a better bet for the kite surfers.
Rusty.

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.
