Table - best surf conditions forecast for La Zenia over the next 16 days.
Alright, let me tell ya, it's a bit of a tough stretch here at La Zenia. We're looking at a 16-day window, but honestly, there's not a single standout session in the whole run. The ocean is just not cooperating.
Looking at the first few days, starting Friday the 10th, it's a complete flat calm. Zero energy. The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 80°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that doesn't help the waves any. That flat spell hangs around for several days, with hardly anything to get excited about.
We get a tiny pulse of life on Monday the 13th. The morning shows a small 3ft swell from the ENE, but the combined energy is weak (62). The wind is glassy, which is a big positive, and it'll be clean, but the waves are just ordinary. It's a reef break that's inconsistent, so don't expect much. The rest of the week is a write-off: tiny waves, onshore winds, and choppy conditions.
The following week, from the 17th onwards, is more of the same. We see a few little bumps of 2ft, 2ft, but it's all short-period, wind-affected junk. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess of things. You'll see a glassy morning on the 21st with a 2ft swell from the E, but it's fleeting and the energy is still low (15). The best you can hope for is a knee-high dribble when the wind drops.
There's no big swell, no magic window. For a break that's exposed and inconsistent, this is a pretty normal blank run when the charts are like this. For a kite surfer, the stronger onshore afternoons might offer something, but for a paddle surfer, it's a long wait.
Keep your eyes on the charts, but for now, I wouldn't be waxing the board.

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.
