The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with a look at what’s on offer. Let’s be straight with each other: there’s not a single decent wave in this whole 16-day window at Los Enanos. The setup is a beach and reef break, but with a constant onshore wind howling out of the NNE and a short, weak swell from the same direction, it’s blown out and messy from the get-go.
The forecast kicks off on Monday the 10th of August with the swell at just 5 ft but with a short period of 6 seconds and moderate breeze (15 mph) onshore. The combined wave energy is weak (190). That pattern just repeats day after day. Tuesday the 11th, Wednesday the 12th, Thursday the 13th – all the same story: shorebreak chop with a light-to-moderate onshore wind. By Friday the 14th of August, the swell height bumps up to 6 ft with period still only 7 seconds, and combined energy reaches 358, but the wind stays onshore. That’s just sloppy, closeout conditions.
Through the second week, it’s more of the same. By Tuesday the 19th of August, the period stretches to 9 seconds, and the swell drops to 4 ft, but the onshore wind never lets up. The best combined energy we see is 292, which is still just moderate.
There is absolutely no standout here. Nothing. The optimum swell direction for the break is NNW, but the swell is coming from the opposite direction, and the wind is blowing against it. For paddle surfing, this is a total blank run. The water temperature is about average for the time of year so no drama there. Honestly, with solid onshore winds and a consistent beach setup, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than trying to paddle out for a proper surf. The forecasts can change, but as it stands, I’d leave the board at home.
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.
