G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at La Zenia are mostly a bust for decent waves. The swell is tiny, the winds are rarely in your favor, and we’re staring at a long, quiet stretch. There’s a gap starting right now and running all the way until the morning of Monday the 21st of July with no proper rideable surf. That’s a long dry spell.
Right now it’s all tiny, weak slop – we’re talking about 1ft to 2ft of easterly windswell with combined energy numbers barely hitting double digits (16 on Monday morning). Most of the time the wind is cross or onshore, and even the glassy patches on Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th morning can’t polish a turd when the waves are that small.
The one real hope is Tuesday the 21st of July. That morning at La Zenia (this is a reef break in the area) we finally get a pulse of life. A clean 4ft swell from the northeast with a period of 6 seconds, and the wind is glassy offshore from the north-northwest – that’s a solid combo. The combined energy hits 205 (moderate energy), so there’s some proper push. Heads up though, this break is inconsistent and rated for advanced surfers, and it does get crowded often. It’s not huge, so doable for the skilled crew, but you’ll need to be on your game. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.
Wednesday the 22nd morning is still surfable but not as clean – 4ft from the east-northeast with a cross-offshore north wind keeping it tidy, energy at 128. Then it fades back into tiny dribble from the 23rd onward.
If you’re a surfer, circle Tuesday the 21st morning. That’s your one real window. The rest? Not worth getting wet for.
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.
