The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this forecast is a bit of a heartbreaker. We’re looking at a long, drawn-out stretch where the surf just isn’t cooperating. The only break on the books is Los Enanos, a beach and reef setup that’s very consistent, but the conditions throughout this 16-day window are mostly a write-off for a decent paddle.
Forget the first week. From Wednesday the 2nd to Tuesday the 15th of September, it’s a bleak run of “poor surf conditions” day after day with scores of zero. The winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, blowing straight into the swell, keeping that wave face chopped up and ugly. The swell energy is weak to moderate, hovering between 114 and 582 (combined energy), and the period is a short, weak 6 to 8 seconds. That’s mush city.
There is a tiny glimmer for the more adventurous, but it comes with a big caveat. On Tuesday the 15th of September, the morning session gets a marginal nod. Swell hits 6ft from the NNE with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy bumps up to 516. The wind is a light cross-onshore, which will keep it fairly choppy, but it’s the best the whole window has to offer. Still, with short period and cross-shore wind, it’s more of a “if you’re desperate” kind of day. The water temperature is about average for the time of year here, nothing unusual.
Honestly, for most of this, that consistent onshore wind and small, short-period swell make Los Enanos look more like a kite-surfing zone than a place to paddle out. We’re talking over a week straight of poor conditions. It’s a blank run, plain and simple. Forecasts can change, but right now, keep the boards in the bag.
Stay tuned.
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.
