Table - best surf conditions forecast for La Zenia over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the next 16 days for La Zenia are a tough watch. We're looking at a long, grim stretch of tiny, weak swell and messy wind. There's a real gap of no surf worth talking about from now until the morning of July 13th. That's a solid four-day blank run to start. After that, we get a tiny window of something that's barely surfable, but it's not pretty.
The water is sitting at a very unusual 80.2°F, which is a whopping 6.3° warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bath out there.
The only real standout, and I use that term loosely, is the Monday morning of July 13th. We'll see a little 3.9ft swell from the ENE, period of 5 seconds. The combined swell energy is a moderate 106, so there's a bit of push, but it's a short-period windswell. The wind is glassy, completely off, which is a major positive for clean conditions. This is genuinely the only morning that looks even remotely surfable, but the waves will be weak and very ordinary. For a reef break like La Zenia, that short period means the waves will be a bit fat and soft.
Honestly, outside of that one glassy morning, the rest of the period is a write-off. The wind is predominantly cross-shore or onshore, and the swell is tiny. It's going to be choppy and messy. For most of the next two weeks, you're better off finding another hobby.
Stay patient, lads. Sometimes the ocean just takes a holiday.

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.
