The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for La Zenia over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a flat spell. There's really nothing worth paddling out for in this entire 16-day window. The forecast keeps throwing up "poor surf conditions" every single time, and the scores reflect that. We're looking at a long, dry run from the start of the outlook on the 21st of August all the way through to the 5th of September with no real standouts.
The first few days are a write-off. On the 21st of August, we've got a tiny 2ft south swell with a short, weak 6-second period, and cross-onshore winds ruining any chance of a clean wave. The energy is pitiful, barely registering (22). The water is feeling like a bath at 85°, which is a whopping 7° warmer than normal for this time of year – that's very unusual.
Things don't improve. Saturday the 22nd through the week is all tiny dribbles of swell, mostly from the east, with period struggling to get above 6 seconds. The combined energy values are all in the low double digits or single digits. We get a few moments of glassy or clean conditions, like on the morning of the 24th, 27th, 31st of August, and the 1st of September, but there's just no swell to ride – we're looking at 0.7ft to 2ft at best. It's a classic case of "no waves, but the wind is nice."
The biggest pulse we see in the whole period is a tiny 3ft east-northeast swell on the afternoon of the 28th of August, but it's choppy and blown out by a 12 mph cross-onshore wind. The energy finally climbs a bit (52), but it's still weak. The same story repeats on the 4th of September with a 3ft north-east swell, again messy.
Because the swell is so small and the wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, this setup honestly looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, especially on those afternoons with a moderate breeze.
So, to sum it up: there's nothing to get excited about. This is a blank run that's pretty normal for the area when the swell windows are closed. Keep the board in the bag, maybe check the forecasts again in a few days – it tends not to stay this poor forever.
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.
