The Lowdown
Alright, let me get a look at what's going on here. I'm Rusty, and I'm looking at the charts for our area. To be honest, there's a lot of nothing on the horizon for a while. This is a tough stretch.
Right now, through most of the first week, it’s looking pretty bleak. We’ve got tiny, short-period swell with hardly any energy behind it. It's not going to be worth paddling out for the most part. You'll see some clean, glassy mornings here and there, but with next to no swell, it's just a flat lake. You might get a knee-high wobble at best, but that's it. We're looking at a solid gap of nothing for the first week and a half.
Now, if we fast forward to Saturday, the 19th of September, things start to change. The afternoon sees a jump in the swell, coming from the ENE around 5ft. The wave energy picks up significantly, getting into that moderate range (154). However, the wind turns onshore and it gets choppy, so it's not going to be pretty. But it's a sign of life.
The real standout, the only one worth marking on the calendar, is the morning of Sunday, the 20th of September. The swell drops back a touch to 4ft, still from the E/ENE, with a period of 7 seconds. The wave energy is still solidly in the moderate range (128). More importantly, we get a gentle cross-shore breeze, keeping things cleaner than the day before. The water temperature is about 80°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit. The break here is La Zenia, a reef setup. It's an exposed spot, so it'll pick up this energy, but it's known to be inconsistent and a spot for advanced surfers only. With the swell over 3ft but not too big, and a decent wind, this is our best window.
Beyond that, Monday the 21st of September morning looks glassy again, but the swell drops right back off. So really, the 20th is your one shot for something rideable.
Rusty.

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.
