The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the next 16 days for this stretch of coast are pretty ordinary. There's no real stand-out session, no proper swell window opening up, just a lot of small, weak, messy energy with the odd moment of glass to keep you hanging on. The best you can hope for is a quickie on a clean morning, but don't go cancelling any plans.
The first surfable option rolls in around Friday 13th September morning at La Zenia (reef). It's been a long, flat stretch before that with almost nothing on offer. Friday the 13th sees a small bump of 3ft from the ESE, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak at 52, so you're looking at tiny, short-period slop. The real bonus here is the wind – it's offshore from the west at just 3 mph, so those little waves could be glassy and clean. The water is sitting at 79°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. This break is exposed to the east, and the optimum swell direction is from the east, so there's a bit of hope it might catch some shape. Friday 13th morning is probably your pick of the entire forecast.
After that, Saturday the 14th and Sunday the 15th drop back down to 2ft to 1ft, with onshore winds from the east making things a bit bumpy. There's a tiny window on Wednesday 18th September morning with 2ft from the ESE and a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the north at 9 mph. It's still weak (energy at 43) and short period at 6 seconds, but it'll be tidy if you need a fix.
Honestly, the rest of the run is a write-off. Tiny swell, cross-onshore winds, and very little energy. Session after session of poor surf conditions. It's a tough beat for the area – a real classic "wait for the next system" outlook.
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.
