The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. The next 16 days are looking pretty grim for Los Enanos. The wind is blowing onshore from the north-northeast almost non-stop, and the swell is a short-period, wind-driven mess. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 75.2°F.
We start off with Wednesday, August 12th, and it’s a write-off. The swell is just 3.9ft from the north-northeast with a weak 6-second period and the combined energy is a low 176. The wind is a moderate onshore breeze, so it’s choppy and poor. That’s the story all the way through to the end of the week. Swell hangs around 4.9ft to 5.6ft, but it’s the same dirty north-northeast wind and short period, so the surf quality is zero.
The next week doesn’t get any better. Monday August 17th is still onshore, with swell dropping to 4.3ft. Tuesday August 18th morning shows a slight shift to a cross-onshore wind from the north, but the wave comment says it’s marginal, with a score of 1/10. The swell is 4.6ft from the north with a 9-second period, but the energy is still moderate at 327. The wind is light, but it’s cross-onshore, so it’s not clean.
From there, we just slide into a long drawn-out period of small, weak, and onshore conditions. By the end of the run, around August 27th, we get a small bump from the northwest and north-northwest, with swell hitting 3.6ft to 4.3ft, but the period is still short and the wind is onshore again. The combined energy tops out at 299, which is moderate, but it’s all for nothing with the wind.
Honestly, there are no standouts here. This is a classic blank run for Los Enanos – a solid 16-day stretch of nothing worth paddling out for. The setup is a beach and reef, and with the persistent onshore wind and short-period chop, it honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.

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.
