The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it. To be honest, looking at the charts for Los Enanos, it's a pretty grim run for the next 16 days. We're staring down the barrel of a long stretch with no good surf on offer. The wind is consistently blowing onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is weak and short-period, making for nothing but choppy, poor conditions.
The pattern is set right from the start. Saturday the 8th of August kicks off with a 5ft swell from the NNE at a short 7 seconds, but with a 9 mph cross-onshore breeze from the NNW, it's just messy. The combined energy is moderate at best (252), but the "poor surf conditions" verdict is spot on. This same story repeats day after day. Throughout the first week, the wind is mainly onshore from the N or NNE, blowing at 12-16 mph, with wave heights hovering around 5ft to 6ft and periods stuck at 6-7 seconds. The swell energy picks up a bit around the 14th and 15th, hitting 505 on the 14th afternoon and 486 on the 15th morning, which is strong wave energy, but the wind is still howling onshore, completely ruining any chance of a wave. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is about average for the time of year.
The second week, from the 17th onward, offers no relief. The wind shifts to cross-onshore from the NNW, still blowing 9-16 mph. The swell drops a little, from 5ft down to 4ft, with periods finally creeping up to 8-9 seconds. The energy drops back to moderate levels. Even on the 22nd and 23rd, when the period pushes to 9 seconds and the energy hits 335, the wind is either cross-onshore or onshore, so the surface is still trashed.
There is nothing here that stands out. No glassy windows, no clean offshore winds, no quality swell. Given the consistent onshore flow and the short-period, weak swells, it’s a straight-up write-off for paddle surfing. Honestly, with these conditions, the setup at Los Enanos, a beach and reef break, looks more interesting for kite surfing than anything else. The forecasts might change, but for now, stay home and wax your board for another day.

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.
