The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've got the lowdown on what's happening at Los Enanos. This is a beach and reef set-up that's beginner-friendly and very consistent, but we're looking at a pretty grim run of surf for the next couple of weeks. There's not a single day that's worth getting excited about for a paddle.
The problem starts right from Tuesday, August 4th, and just keeps going. The swell is mostly from the NNE, hanging around 4ft to 8ft, but the real killer is the period. It's stuck at a short, weak 7 to 8 seconds for the first week, which means the waves are just soft and unorganized. The combined energy is weak to moderate at best, starting at 204 and climbing to 744 by August 8th, but it's still not enough to overcome the choppy conditions. The wind is a constant issue, blowing onshore or cross-onshore from the N and NNE at 9 to 16 mph, turning the water into a messy, choppy mess. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, but with conditions this poor, it's hardly a comfort.
This run of poor surf stretches all the way through to Wednesday, August 19th. Every single session is flagged as "poor surf conditions." The wind stays onshore, and while the swell period does eventually creep up to 9-10 seconds by the end of the second week, the swell size drops to 4ft to 5ft with weak energy (230 to 372). The cross-onshore winds are just too strong, making it a chop-fest.
Honestly, if you're really keen to get wet, this setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The wind is strong and consistent, and the waves are poor. For a surfer, there's nothing to chase. The forecasts might change, but for now, it's a blank run. Grab a coffee and wait for the next swell.

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.

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.
