The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got the outlook for Los Enanos. Let’s break it down.
Well, mate, it’s a tough stretch ahead. Looking at the whole 16-day window, the surf just isn’t offering anything worth getting excited about. The first solid recommendation comes on Wednesday morning, the 19th of August, and from there it’s a long, flat slog for the entire period. There are no standout days, no perfect windows, so temper your expectations.
Starting off Wednesday the 19th, we’ve got some swell showing up, but it’s not clean at all. Early morning has a 4ft wave from the North with a short period of 8 seconds, and the energy is weak, around 172. The wind is onshore from the North at 9 mph, so it’s messy. The water temp is 75°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Thursday the 20th is similar – waist-high 4ft waves, still onshore Northerly winds at 12 mph, and the energy is moderate at 215. Nothing is clean.
Friday the 21st through to the end of August is more of the same. Swell heights bounce between 4ft and 7ft, but the onshore wind never relents. The period stays short (7 to 10 seconds), so it’s weak, choppy, and poor quality. Even when the swell pushes into the 6ft to 7ft range on the 27th and 28th, the wind is still blowing straight onshore from the NNE, making it a choppy mess. The combined energy hits a moderate level, peaking around 686 on the 28th, but it’s all wasted with the wind.
By the 29th and 30th, the swell drops back to 6ft to 6ft, still with short period and onshore winds. The first few days of September look equally grim, with small 3ft to 5ft waves and the same onshore flow. For a beach and reef setup like Los Enanos, this persistent onshore wind means it’s never going to hold shape.
Honestly, after the 19th, there are no gaps in the forecast – the surf is technically there, but the conditions are so consistently poor that it’s barely surfable. Nothing here is a standout. The waves are there, but they’re not your friend. If you’re a kite surfer, the steady onshore breeze and lumpy water might get you out there, but for us paddle surfers, this run looks like a write-off.
Rusty.

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.
