The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long run of poor surf conditions, so don’t expect much to get excited about anytime soon.

The forecast kicks off on Sunday the 16th of August, and we’ve got a real rough patch ahead. From the get-go it’s mostly onshore wind or cross-onshore breezes, with the swell coming from the NNE and N, not the optimum direction for the break. The swell heights start around 3 ft to 4 ft, but the period is short – mostly just 7 to 9 seconds – so the waves are weak and messy. The combined wave energy stays on the low side (148 to 226), which tells you there’s just not much grunt in the water. Monday the 17th through to Friday the 21st is the same story: onshore wind, poor surf, no reason to paddle out.

We get a little spike in size around Saturday the 22nd – some 5 ft swell, but it’s still short-period at 7 seconds, and the wind goes cross-onshore. The combined energy climbs a bit (288), but it’s going to be choppy, and the quality is still poor. Not worth it.

Then from Sunday the 23rd through to the end of the month, the swell holds between 4 ft and 6 ft, but the wind is relentless from the N or NNE at 15 to 25 km/h, mostly onshore. The period stays short, so the waves are weak and bumpy. The energy values do get into the 300s and even 400s by the 24th, meaning there’s more water moving, but with that constant onshore wind it’s just going to be a messy, blown-out affair. The last days (30th and 31st of August) drop back to 4 ft, still short-period and onshore.

The water temperature at Los Enanos is 75°, which is about average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.

Honestly, across the entire 16 days, there is no standout window, no clean swell, no glassy mornings. The break itself is a beach and reef setup, very consistent, but with the onshore winds and short-period swell, it’s just not going to offer anything for a surfer. If you’re into kiting, the setup with that consistent onshore wind and the moderate swell might be more interesting – but for surfing, there’s nothing on offer.

There’s a solid 16 days with no recommendations for any good surf. With a break this consistent, it’s a bit of a bummer, but it happens. The forecasts can always change, so don’t lose hope entirely.

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.
