The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve looked over the whole 16-day forecast, and to be honest, it’s a pretty flat patch. There’s no big swell coming, no standout session worth getting excited about. This is a reef break that’s inconsistent and rarely breaks with any size, so when it’s this quiet, it’s not a surprise.
The first chance to get wet is Monday, August 3rd, but it’s a total dud. You’ve got a tiny 0.7 ft east swell with a 4-second period, and combined energy of just 1 (weak). The surf is poor. That afternoon, a 2 ft south swell shows up, but the wind is cross-on, sloppy, and energy is only 19 (weak). Skip it.
Tuesday through Friday of that first week – August 4th to 7th – are all tiny to flat. Swell heights are mostly under 2 ft, periods are short, and combined energy is often in the single digits. Winds are messy. Not worth paddling out.
Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th offer a little more. The swell picks up to 2 ft to 2 ft from the east, with a 5-second period and combined energy around 18 to 27 (still weak). The mornings are glassy – clean, glassy, smooth. The best chance is Sunday morning, August 9th: 2 ft east swell, glassy, combined energy 18 (weak). Water temperature is about average for this time of year. But the surf is still way too small to get excited about. The break is a reef, inconsistent, and while it’s exposed to east swell, the optimum direction is east, so at least the direction is right.
The following week, from August 10th to the 17th, is more of the same – tiny surf, mostly 0.7 ft to 1 ft, periods of 3 to 5 seconds, and combined energy rarely above 10. The only half-decent look is Tuesday morning, August 18th: 3 ft from the northeast, 4-second period, combined energy 16 (weak), and offshore winds from the WNW. That’s the cleanest you’ll see, but it’s still small and the swell direction isn’t ideal for this spot.
There’s nothing here that stands out as a real winner. The surf is too small, inconsistent, and the energy is weak across the board. If you’re keen, the glassy mornings on the 8th, 9th, or 11th offer the cleanest conditions, but you’ll be fighting for anything rideable. This is a reef that rarely breaks with any size, so a flat run like this is normal. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a quiet stretch.

Information about the La Zenia Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for La Zenia provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at La Zenia can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our La Zenia 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 (La Zenia) 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 La Zenia 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.
