The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it and see what we've got cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, looking at the entire 16-day window, it's a pretty grim stretch for La Zenia. We've got a real flat spell on our hands. For nearly the whole run, the waves are tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the forecast is basically a long string of scores that say "poor surf conditions." There are no good options on offer right now.
The entire sequence from July 27th all the way through to August 11th is essentially a write-off for decent paddling. You're looking at a solid gap of over two weeks with no real recommendations. The first week shows tiny 1.3 ft to 3.3 ft swells from the east and southeast, but the onshore breezes from the east and southeast just kill any hope of a clean wave. The second week is even worse, with most days seeing flat calm or waves under 1.6 ft.
About the only positive I can find for the whole period is a momentary glass-off on the morning of Sunday, August 2nd. The wind goes glassy with a light southeasterly, but the swell is only a pathetic 1.3 ft from the east-southeast with a weak period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is just 8, so it's barely a ripple. That's about as exciting as it gets, and it's not saying much.
Even going long range into the second week, there's nothing to get excited about. A few mornings like August 8th and 9th show clean conditions with light offshore winds, but again we're dealing with miniscule 1.3 ft swells. It's just not enough to push over the reef. This is one of those times where the forecast can only change for the better, because it can't get much worse for surfing.

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.
