The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up.
It’s gonna be a tough one over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a real flat spell on the cards for Los Enanos. Right from Wednesday afternoon, August 26th, the water is a touch warmer than normal at 76°, but don’t let that fool you. The swell is tiny at 3ft from the north, and with a onshore cross-on breeze, it’s just not going to be worth getting wet.
The whole first week into early September is a write-off. We’re looking at onshore winds from the north-northeast, choppy conditions, and the swell barely gets above 5ft. The energy in the water is weak to moderate at best, with the combined energy reading lowly numbers like 121 (moderate energy) up to maybe 674 (moderate energy) on the morning of Saturday the 29th, but it won't be clean. The period is short, between 5 and 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bouncy mess.
Even when the swell tries to push a bit on Friday morning, September 4th, it’s a marginal call at best. The swell is 4ft from the north-northeast, but the wind is still cross-shore, making it a 1/10 day. The wave energy is a moderate 255, but it’s just not clean enough to get excited about. The rest of the 16-day window is a consistent pattern of poor surf conditions, with a lot of cross-onshore wind and wave energy staying in the 100-300 range.
Honestly, if you’re desperate, you might get a tiny window on the morning of Friday, September 4th, but that’s scraping the bottom of the barrel. The setup at Los Enanos is a beach and reef, and with the wind mostly onshore, it's more of a kiteboarding session than a surf session for most of this period. There are no other breaks in the mix, so this is the only option, and it’s a lousy one. All we can do is wait for a change in the forecast.

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.
