The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Los Enanos has got cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a rough stretch ahead for this stretch of beach and reef. The next few days, from now through the weekend of the 15th, are gonna be a write-off. We’ve got onshore winds and a messy, choppy ocean with poor surf conditions. The swell is there, between 5 and 6 ft, but it’s coming from the NNE with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds – that’s just weak, wind-driven slop with moderate wave energy. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
The first hint of something worth paddling out for comes on Monday the 14th. It’s not going to blow you away, but it’s the best we’ve got for the first week. Monday morning we’ll have a clean 4 ft swell from the NNE with an 8-second period, and the wind goes glassy – dead calm. That makes for a good surf condition. Wave energy is moderate. Monday afternoon holds that glassy texture with the wind barely a whisper, swell dropping to 4 ft. If you are a beginner or just want a clean, soft bank, that Monday is your window.
Tuesday the 15th sees the swell drop to 3 ft with a longer 11-second period, but the morning is cross-onshore. It’s marginal. By afternoon, it’s back to poor. Wednesday the 16th is flat and useless. Thursday the 17th has a bump up to 4 ft, but it’s onshore again and messy.
Then we get to Monday the 22nd of September. This is the real standout, but it's a long way off, so keep that in mind. We’ve got a 4 ft swell from the NNW with a very long 13-second period – that’s proper groundswell energy, with strong wave energy. That longer period will mean some nice shaped lines at Los Enanos, and the wind is just a light cross-onshore breeze. It’s a marginal call but compared to everything else, this is the one to circle on the calendar. Tuesday the 23rd is similar, with a 5 ft NNW swell at 12 seconds and moderate energy. After that, the outlook drops off again into poor, choppy, cross-onshore conditions through to the 26th.
So, bottom line: Only two windows worth a sniff – the glassy Monday the 14th for a clean, easy paddle, and the promising, longer-period swell around Monday the 22nd and Tuesday the 23rd. Everything else, keep the board in the car.
Rusty.

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.
