The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for the Los Enanos area is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead with no real standouts to speak of.
The pattern is pretty locked in: a persistent onshore wind from the N to NNE, blowing straight onto the beach and reef setup at Los Enanos. The swell is coming from the NNE, but the period is short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak, crumbly, and lacks any real punch. The combined energy readings are all in the moderate range, but don’t let that fool you – the wind is just ruining any chance of a decent wave. We’re looking at solid 5 ft to 6 ft surf for the first week, but it’s all blown out and choppy. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
From Friday the 7th of August all the way through to the end of the first week, it’s just a write-off. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the word “poor surf conditions” is stamped on every single forecast. The best I can say is that the swell energy is there, with values like (306) and (301) early on, but it’s wasted.
Moving into the second week, the swell picks up a touch. By Sunday the 16th of August, we’re seeing 7 ft from the NNE, but it’s still onshore (12-16 mph) and the period is still short. The energy jumps up to (436) and (463) by the 19th, but again, the wind is all wrong. The waves are going to be a messy, lumpy wall of whitewater. On Thursday the 20th, the energy hits (568) and the period stretches to 9 seconds, but it’s still onshore. For a beach-and-reef setup like this, with that much wind and swell, it’s looking more like a kite surfing session than a paddle surf.
There are absolutely no standouts. Not one. The best advice is to save your energy and wait for a change in the wind. It’s a long, blank run with no relief in sight. The conditions are just too consistent for us to get any hope up.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
