The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and I'm looking at a grim picture for the next couple of weeks. We've got a proper flat spell on our hands at Los Enanos, and there's just nothing worth getting wet for.
From the get-go, starting August 20th, it's all onshore wind and weak energy. The water's a touch warmer than average at 76°, but that's the only positive. The wind is howling from the NNE at 12 mph, right onshore, turning any tiny bump into a choppy mess. The swell energy is a pathetic 215 on Thursday morning. This pattern just sticks around. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are all the same: tiny 3 to 5 ft waves from the NNE with a short, weak period of 6 to 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak, barely over 100. The onshore wind is relentless.
We get a glimmer on Sunday the 23rd. The swell direction swings to the NNW and the period jumps to a very long 15 seconds, with the energy climbing to a moderate 393. But the swell height is only 2 ft, and the wind is still onshore. That long period would be magic at a point break, but with that size and the onshore breeze, it's a dud.
Monday the 24th is the best of a bad bunch. The swell energy hits a strong 807 with a 5 ft swell from the NNW and a 12-second period. The wind drops to a lighter 9 mph from the NNE, but it's still onshore. The forecast calls it "marginal." For a beginner spot, 5 ft might be a bit much, but the onshore wind is the main problem. Then it's right back to nothing. From Tuesday the 25th all the way to September 4th, it's the same story: onshore winds, tiny to small NNE swell, and poor conditions.
The swell tries to build again around the 28th and 29th of August, with heights hitting 6 to 7 ft from the NNE. The energy gets into the moderate-to-strong range (around 480 to 740), but the period stays short at 7 seconds, and the wind is blowing onshore at 15 to 19 mph. That's a mess for paddle surfing, though it might look interesting for the kite crew.
For the entire 16-day window, there's not a single standout session. The constant onshore wind and a lack of clean swell kill it. For a spot that's normally very consistent, this is a rare blank run. Don't hold your breath, but forecasts can shift. As of now, leave the board at home.
Rusty.

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.
