The Lowdown
Right folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Los Enanos is serving up for the next sixteen days. It’s a mixed bag, so don’t get your hopes up too high.
First up, water temp is sitting at about 75° – that’s pretty normal for this time of year, nothing wild going on there.
The first week and a half is pretty grim. From Tuesday the 8th right through to the 13th, the surf is onshore, choppy, and poor. The swell is there, running between 4ft and 7ft from the NNE, but the wind is all wrong – mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the N and NE at 9 to 16 mph. It’s just a mess. The wave energy is moderate to strong (values between 198 and 726), but it’s all wasted on the messy conditions. Not worth paddling out unless you’re looking for a fight.
There’s a little window of hope on Monday the 14th. The morning glass-off with a light WNW breeze at 3 mph is your best bet. Swell drops to 2ft from the NNW, but it’s got some decent period at 13 seconds, which means it’s a proper groundswell with a bit of push. Energy is moderate (280), and the offshore wind will make it clean. This is a standout session – small but tidy. Beginners will be fine on these waves. It’s a beach and reef setup, and it’s exposed to the NNW, which matches the swell direction nicely. Just be mindful it can get crowded here at times.
After that brief moment of glory, things fade fast. The rest of Monday afternoon and Tuesday the 15th drop off quickly, with smaller 2ft to 3ft waves and onshore winds returning. Then from Wednesday the 16th right through to the end of the window on the 23rd, it’s mostly poor surf again. The swell stays tiny, mostly under 3ft, and the winds are either onshore or cross-onshore. Energy is weak to low (values often between 81 and 226). There are no real standouts in that second week, just a lot of flat or messy days.
Honestly, the only day to pencil in is Monday the 14th morning. Get it while it’s clean. The rest of the forecast is a bit of a washout.

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.
