The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough run. The forecast for La Zenia (reef) is showing a whole lot of nothing for the first few days. We’re looking at a gap from now until about the 22nd of August with no real surf to speak of. The little bumps that show up are tiny, short-period windswell, and the wind is just never on our side. It’s frustrating, I know.

On the morning of the 22nd, there’s a tiny pulse of 2ft swell from the S with a period of 5 seconds, combined energy of (20). The wind is light and cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but honestly, it’s barely a ripple. The water is 85°F, which is a massive 7°F warmer than normal – very unusual, feels like a bath. That little window fades quick, and we’re back into flat, choppy conditions through the 23rd and 24th.

The best of the whole outlook, and I mean the only real standout, comes on the morning of Wednesday the 26th of August. It’s not huge, but it’s the most promising window. La Zenia sees a clean 3ft swell from the E, with a period of 6 seconds, combined energy of (46). The wind is light and offshore from the WNW, so the break should be clean and glassy. This is a reef break that’s inconsistent by nature, so don’t expect a party, but for the conditions we’ve got, this is the one to circle. The swell direction from the E is a good match for the break’s optimum. After that morning, the wind swings onshore in the afternoon and messes it up.

For the rest of the run into the first week of September, it’s a desert. Tiny, weak swells with onshore winds. The 27th morning has a clean 1ft bump from the E with offshore wind, but it’s just too small to get excited about. The 28th through the 2nd of September is more of the same – small, weak, and messy.

So, to wrap it up: don’t get your hopes up for the next week and a half. The one morning to try and wrangle is the 26th of August. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best we’ve got. Keep an eye on the sky, because a forecast this weak can shift.

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.
