Hey mates, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on this La Zenia outlook. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it – we are looking at a pretty lean stretch. The numbers are showing a massive dry spell to kick things off. For well over a week, you're looking at flat or near-flat conditions. The wave comment flat-out says "poor surf conditions" on every single entry for the entire 16-day run, so keep your expectations real low.
It all starts on Tuesday, July 7th, with absolutely nothing. That pattern holds true through the 11th. On Saturday morning, we finally clock a tiny 1-foot southerly bump with a period of only 4 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 3, barely enough to ruffle the surface. The afternoon edges up to a 2-foot easterly wave at 3 seconds, but the wind is onshore and the texture is ugly. This routine of small, junk waves just repeats. There's a slight uptick mid-week. On Tuesday morning, July 14th, an easterly swell hits about 3 feet, still with a short 5-second period, and 55 units of energy. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so the surface should be clean, but don't get excited – the report still calls it poor. By Wednesday the 22nd, morning turns glassy with a 2-foot east-northeast swell and 26 units of energy. Still poor. There is no standout window here. La Zenia's reef, which is an advanced spot that's inconsistent and needs a proper easterly push, just isn't getting anything worthwhile.
The water temp is running a very unusual 80°F, which is about 7°F warmer than average for this time of year. Feels like tropical bath water. Look, the few moments of clean conditions are matched with tiny, powerless waves. This is a total blank run for surfing. With the afternoon onshore winds and minimal swell, this stretch honestly looks better set up for kite surfing than paddle surfing if you're desperate for a session. Keep the longboard at home, boys. The forecasts will change eventually.
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.
