Los Enanos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your wettie, let’s see what’s doing. The long-range picture is pretty grim, to be honest. We’ve got a 16-day window, and there isn't a single moment where the stars align for a proper surf. It's a real bummer, but that's the nature of the game sometimes. We’re looking at a blank run for the entire stretch, with waves on offer but all of them messy and blown out.

The first few days are a write-off. Through the 5th and into the 6th, we've got onshore north-easterly winds, solid but junky swell around 6ft, and a short, weak period of 7 seconds. The energy is weak, reading (312) and (363), and it's just bumpy, unorganized water. Not worth paddling out for.

As we move into the 7th and through the weekend, the wind switches to a cross-onshore from the north, and it’s up to 12-15 mph. The swell stays in that same 5ft to 6ft range, but the period is still short and the energy is moderate at best (415). It’s just choppy and blown out, a real mess. The water's all churned up, and the surface is going to be a washing machine. This is more of a kite-surfing day than a surfing day, honestly.

The following week doesn’t offer any relief. From the 11th through the 14th, the wind stays onshore from the north/northeast, and the swell remains weak and junky at 5ft-6ft with that same short period. The energy stays in that moderate range (406), but it’s all for nothing with the wind blowing straight onshore. It’s just more of the same, average surf, but completely blown out.

There is a slight bump in energy around the 15th, with the swell pushing 7ft and the period stretching to 8 seconds. The energy ramps up to (592), which is the most we’ll see all window. But, and it’s a big but, the wind is still onshore from the NNE at 12-15 mph. So we get a bit more size, but it’s going to be a raw, stormy, and lumpy mess. It’s grunty but ugly.

After that, things start to fade out. The 17th and 18th see the swell drop to 4ft-4ft, and the period slowly climbs to 8-9 seconds. The energy drops back to weak (236). The wind is still onshore, so it’s not going to be clean, just weak and crumbly. By the 19th and 20th, the swell is down to a dribble, 4ft-4ft, with a light breeze on the 19th, but the swell is just too small and weak to do anything with.

So, there you have it. A full 16 days of no good surf. The swell is always there, but the wind is never our friend. It’s a proper flat spell for any decent waves. The lack of consistency is a real worry, but the forecast can change. We just have to keep our eyes on it and hope that the wind gods decide to give us a break.
