The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about this stretch of coast.
To be straight with you, the 16-day window is looking dead flat. There’s nothing rideable out there, and the forecast just keeps telling the same story. The first row of data kicks off on Saturday the 25th of July, and from that point right through to Sunday the 9th of August, it’s all poor surf conditions with no real wave height to speak of. The combined swell energy barely even registers—most days are sitting at single-digit numbers, with a lot of zeros. We’re talking a full 16 days of flatness. This is one of those blank runs that happens in this area, and it’s a tough one.
The only break on the list is La Zenia, a reef setup that’s inconsistent and only works for advanced surfers when it does get something. The water temperature is running at 83°F, which is a full 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year—much warmer than normal, so if you’re just going for a swim, it’s lovely. But for waves? There’s nothing. The swell direction on the rare tiny pulses comes from the east or southeast, but the heights are all under 3ft, and the periods are short—mostly 4 to 6 seconds. That’s windswell at best, and with the winds often cross-on or onshore, it’s choppy and messy. A couple of mornings go glassy, like Monday the 27th of July and Sunday the 2nd of August, but there’s no swell to enjoy it.
There’s no standout here. No day worth paddling out. If you’re desperate for a splash, the water is warm and clean on a few mornings, but you’ll be bobbing around on a flat ocean. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kiteboarder on those afternoons with a fresh breeze, but for a surfer? It’s a waiting game.
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.
