The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s run it down for La Zenia over the next couple of weeks. The outlook is pretty flat, plain and simple. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak surf with barely any energy in the water. For a reef, that’s a tough break.
Starting Thursday the 27th of August, it’s a big letdown. The water is a warm 81°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s the only bright spot. The swell is just 3 ft from the SSW with a short, crumbly period of 6 seconds and very low energy (43). A cross-on wind from the SSE at 12 mph makes it choppy and poor. Not worth suiting up.
It stays that way. Friday the 28th, the morning cleans up with a light offshore from the NW at 9 mph, but the swell drops to a tiny 1 ft from the east. Wave energy is next to nothing (7). Clean, but nothing to ride. That afternoon, a cross-off wind from the NNW at 6 mph and a 2 ft swell from the south (48 energy) still means poor quality.
Saturday the 29th: tiny, weak swells with light cross-off winds in the morning, then onshore junk in the afternoon. We see glassy mornings on Monday the 31st, Tuesday the 1st of September, and again on Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th, but the swell never tops 2 ft. Energy rarely cracks double digits. It’s flat, mate.
The most energy we see all fortnight is 64 on Thursday the 3rd of September morning with a 2 ft swell from the NE, period of 7 seconds, and a cross-shore wind. Still poor quality. The swell direction is from the NE, not the optimum E that La Zenia needs, so no help there.
For an inconsistent spot that needs a decent pulse to work, this is a blank run. Nothing here will get a surfer excited. The glassy mornings on the 31st of August, 1st of September, or 6th of September might let you take a longboard out for some ankle-biters, but that’s a stretch. Honestly, it looks more like a nice spot for a paddle than a surf right now. Forecasts can change, but for now, the ocean’s taking a long rest.
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.
