The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead. For the entire 16-day window, there isn’t a single standout session. We’ve got a long, dry run of poor conditions from the start, with only a couple of days that creep into "marginal" territory, and that’s about as good as it gets.
We’re looking at Los Enanos (a beach and reef setup). The first week is a write-off. From Tuesday the 1st right through to Monday the 7th of September, it’s all "poor surf conditions" with onshore or cross-onshore winds and short-period, messy swell. Swell energy is mostly weak to moderate (values from 177 to 643) but the wind just kills it every time. For beginners, those 5ft to 7ft waves are pushing the limits of what’s fun anyway, so it’s a hard pass.
There’s a slight flicker of hope on Tuesday the 8th of September morning. The wind goes light and onshore, and we get a 6ft swell from the NNE with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 547, and the wave comment calls it "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions". It’s not good, but it’s the best we’ll see. That little window repeats on Wednesday the 9th of September morning, with a 6ft NNE swell and light onshores (energy at 485). Still just a 1/10 score though. For a spot that’s very consistent and exposed, it hurts to say it.
After that, from Thursday the 10th onwards, it’s right back into the bin – poor surf, onshore winds, and weak, short-period swell dropping down to 3ft by the 15th and 16th. The combined energy falls off a cliff, hitting as low as 107. The wave state gets choppy or just unknown, which says it all. Given the strong onshores and the beach/reef mix, this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the period.
So, no true standouts. Zero. It’s a 16-day flat spell for quality waves. With a break like Los Enanos that’s usually very consistent, this kind of blank run is a bit unusual, but forecasts can change. Keep your eye on it.
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.
