The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a good, hard look at what Los Enanos has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. It's a pretty grim picture for a while, so don't get your hopes up too early.
This stretch kicks off with a real dud. Friday the 28th through to the first week of September is a write-off. The wind is junk – onshore and breezy – and the swell is short-period, messy, and weak. The combined energy is mostly under 400, which is just a sign of weak, disorganised waves. It’s not worth paddling out for. You’ll be battling chop for nothing. We're looking at a solid week-plus of poor conditions right off the bat.
Finally, around Tuesday the 8th of September, things start to show a tiny bit of life. The wind lightens right up, turning to a light breeze, and the swell bumps up a little to about 6ft from the NNE. The combined energy jumps into the 400-500 range (moderate energy). It’s still marginal, but that morning (Tuesday 8th) with the light onshore wind and that extra push, it’s the first time you might find a half-decent, if a bit lumpy, wave. Wednesday the 9th morning looks similar, with clean conditions and a touch more size at 6.2ft from the NNE (combined energy of 605 – moderate energy), making it the best of a fairly average bunch for a beach break that's mostly closing out.
Then the real standout, if you can wait that long, is Friday the 11th of September. We get a groundswell with a very long period of 14 seconds from the north, pushing in at about 3.3ft to 4.6ft. The combined energy is through the roof – 919 on Friday morning and 1049 on the afternoon – that’s very strong energy for such a small wave height. That’s a true long-period groundswell. For a beach-and-reef setup like Los Enanos, that long period will actually make the waves suck up and stand up, offering some proper shape. The wind is onshore again which spoils it a bit, but for a deep-water pulse like that, it could be the only window of real quality in this entire outlook. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but that’s the one to circle.

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.

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.
