The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days look pretty grim for La Zenia. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and mostly onshore winds. The only highlight is a couple of glassy mornings with a bit of energy, but it’s not going to blow anyone’s mind.
First up, we’ve got La Zenia (Costa Blanca). This is a reef break that’s advanced-level and inconsistent, meaning it rarely fires. The water is sitting at 82°, which is a solid 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s much warmer than normal, so you can leave the wetsuit at home.
The opening Friday morning, 31st July, is glassy with a tiny 0.7ft easterly swell, but the combined energy is a measly 2 – that’s weak. It’s basically flat. Saturday morning, 1st August, is glassy again with a 1.0ft E swell, but still only 4 on the energy scale. Sunday morning, 2nd August, is glassy but the swell drops to 0.7ft with energy of just 1. Nothing to get excited about.
Monday morning, 3rd August, is a bit better: glassy conditions with a 2ft southerly swell at 6 seconds, and the energy creeps up to 23 (still weak). The wind is offshore from the west, so it’ll be clean. Tuesday morning, 4th August, is also glassy with a 2ft S swell, but the energy drops to 17. Still not worth paddling out for.
Then we hit a dead zone. From Wednesday 5th August through to Thursday 13th August, the swell is virtually non-existent most days, with energy values of 0 or just 1-3. The odd morning shows a little blip – like Saturday 8th August with a 1.0ft SSW swell and energy of 3, or Sunday 9th August with a 1ft NE swell (energy 2) – but it’s all cross-shore or onshore wind. Not worth it.
The best of a bad bunch is the Saturday morning, 15th August. We get a 2ft easterly swell with a 5-second period, and the energy is 19 (still weak). But the wind is a light cross-offshore from the north, so it’ll be clean. That’s your best window, but for an advanced reef break that’s inconsistent, a 2ft wave is barely a ripple. The afternoon on the 15th sees the swell bump to 3ft E with energy of 46, but the wind swings onshore from the ESE, making it choppy.
Honestly, there’s no standout swell here. The surf is too small, too weak, and too inconsistent to recommend. If you’re a beginner, it’s basically flat. For experts, it’s barely a paddle. The setup looks more interesting for a session on a SUP or even a kite if the wind picks up, but for proper surfing, this is a write-off.
Forecasts can change, but right now, don’t get your hopes up.

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.
La Zenia is 6 km (4 miles) from Torrevieja. If you plan a holiday in Valencia, look for hotels and other accommodation in Torrevieja. Torrevieja has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
