The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for our local stretch.
We're looking at a pretty quiet run ahead, to be honest. The next few days are a write-off with barely a ripple. There's a long gap of poor surf until we finally see something that might be worth a paddle. The real action, if you can call it that, is tucked away in the second week.
The only spot that gets a mention is La Zenia, a reef setup. It's inconsistent, and it's an advanced wave, so this isn't for the grommets. The water is sitting at a very warm 82°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
We start with nothing. Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd are flat with tiny, weak swells and poor conditions. Forget it.
Friday the 24th through Sunday the 26th? Still nothing doing. The swell is tiny, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross. On Sunday the 26th morning, there's a tiny 4ft swell from the NE, but it's a weak, short-period 5-second wave with weak energy (90). The water is clean, but the wave is just too ordinary to get excited about.
Monday the 27th is a flat calm again. The first real blip comes on Tuesday the 28th. The morning shows a 4ft swell from the ESE, with a 7-second period. The combined energy is moderate (288). The wind is a light cross-shore from the NE, which is alright, but it's still a "marginal" call. The afternoon gets choppy with onshore wind.
The rest of the week is much the same: small, weak swells. The morning of Friday the 31st has a glassy 4ft wave from the E, but it's only 6 seconds and the energy is low (95). It's surfable, but very ordinary.
The standout, if you're desperate, is on Wednesday the 5th of August. The morning session is where it's at. We've got a 4ft swell from the ENE, period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is a decent 188. The best part? The wind is glassy. That means clean, smooth faces. It's the best on offer across the whole 16 days. For a reef break, that glassy wind is a massive plus. The swell isn't huge, but it's the only window where the conditions line up.
After that, Thursday the 6th of August morning has a clean 3ft wave from the E, but it's nothing special.
So, to sum it up: the first week and a half is a total bust. The only real chance to get wet is Tuesday the 28th for a messy, marginal session, or the standout morning on Wednesday the 5th of August when the glassy conditions will make La Zenia look pretty good. Don't expect much else.
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.
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.
