The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Los Enanos. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, but I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty quiet stretch with no real standout days. The whole period is marred by persistent onshore winds and a lot of those waves are just messy. The water temp is 75°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing.
The first chunk of the forecast, from Tuesday the 18th of August right through to the end of that week, is all “poor surf conditions.” We’re looking at onshore breezes from the north and north-northeast, with wind speeds hanging around 9 to 12 mph. Swell heights are small, just 3ft to 5ft, and the period is short – 7 to 8 seconds – meaning weak, choppy waves. The combined energy is low to moderate (166 to 264). It’s just not worth paddling out for.
The weekend of the 22nd and 23rd sees a slight bump in size, with swell up to 6ft on Saturday, but the wind is still onshore and the period remains short. The energy ticks up a bit (385 to 423), but the quality is still poor. The break is a beach and reef setup, and with the poor conditions, it’s more interesting for kite surfing than a proper paddle session.
The second week doesn’t bring much relief. From Monday the 24th of August onwards, we’ve got a run of days with wind still mainly onshore. The swell gets a little bigger around the 28th and 29th – hitting 7ft – but the period is still short (8 seconds) and the wind is onshore. The energy is getting stronger (524 to 575), but with the wind and short period, it’s only going to be for experts, and even then, it’s not going to be clean. After that, it drops back down to 4ft to 5ft with poor conditions again.
Honestly, through this whole 16-day window, there’s not a single day where the stars align. The wind is always wrong, the swell is either too small or too messy, and the period is too short. The most consistent thing here is the lack of quality. It’s a real bummer, but that’s how it goes sometimes. Keep an eye on the forecast, things can change, but for now, I’d leave the boards at home.
Rusty.

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.
