The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at Los Enanos.
Honestly, mate, I’m looking at the next couple of weeks and it’s a pretty grim picture for paddling. The swell is there, but the wind is just ruining it. This is a beach and reef set-up that’s very consistent, and it's exposed to the swell, but the wind direction is all wrong. Every single session is blown out with onshore or cross-onshore breezes, which means bumpy, choppy faces. The water temp is sitting at 73°F, which is about normal for the time of year, so at least you won't be freezing while you're getting frustrated.
For the first week, from Tuesday the 14th right through to Sunday the 20th of July, it’s a no-go. We’re looking at swell heights from 2ft up to 6ft, but with a short period of 6 to 8 seconds, it’s weak, wind-affected slop. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate (84 to 355), but none of that matters when it’s all onshore. Every session is marked as “poor surf conditions”.
The second week doesn’t get any better for quality. From Monday the 21st of July right through to Wednesday the 29th, it’s the same story. The swell actually builds, hitting 8ft on Tuesday the 28th with energy up to 759, but the wind is relentless from the north and north-northeast, hammering it onshore. That size, with a short period and onshore wind, is going to be a messy, churning close-out. Honestly, that kind of wind and swell on an exposed beach setup looks far more appealing for kite surfing than a traditional paddle session.
There is a tiny flicker of hope right at the very end. On Friday the 24th of July morning, the wind drops to a light breeze from the northeast and the swell is 5ft. It’s still onshore, but the “marginal surf forecast” tag at least suggests the tide might be kind. Even then, it’s only a 1 out of 10.
So the brutal truth is, there’s nothing to get excited about. The forecast is a 16-day run of poor conditions. It’s just one of those stretches for Los Enanos. Occasionally it stays poor for a while, but forecasts can shift. For now, I’d keep the board in the car and check back next week.

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.
