The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the menu for the next 16 days at Los Enanos. I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The forecast is looking pretty grim from start to finish, so temper your expectations.
We're looking at a beach and reef setup exposed to a NNE swell, but that's about all the good news. The water temp is sitting at a fairly average 73°F for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The short-term is a write-off. From Monday, August 3rd, right through the first week, we've got onshore winds blowing from the N and NNE at 9 to 16 mph, and the wave comment is consistently "poor surf conditions". The swell is hanging around the 5 ft to 7 ft mark, but with a short, weak period of only 6 to 8 seconds, the combined energy is weak to moderate. The wind is mostly blowing straight onshore, making it a choppy, blown-out mess. There's just nothing to recommend. The cross-on winds that kick in on Friday, August 7th, only make it worse, adding a cross-onshore chop.
The second week doesn't offer any relief. From Monday, August 10th, all the way through to Tuesday, August 18th, the pattern holds. We're looking at 6 ft to 8 ft of short-period swell, with onshore and cross-on winds from the N and NNW. The combined energy ramps up to moderate levels, but it's all wind-driven junk. The surf quality is still rated as poor. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.
Really, there are no standouts. No "best on offer". The entire 16-day window is a blank run. When you see a consistent break like Los Enanos with a clean sweep of zero scores across the board, it tells you that a prolonged poor spell is on the cards. It's a bummer, but forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.
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.
