The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – we're looking at a pretty dire run for the next couple of weeks. I've scanned every nook and cranny of the forecast, and honestly, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. We're in for a long stretch of flat to tiny, messy conditions. Let's get into it.
The whole 16-day window is a write-off for anything resembling a decent wave. From the 25th of July, all the way through to the 9th of August, it’s a consistent pattern of weak, short-period windswell. Combined wave energy barely cracks triple digits on a couple of afternoons, hitting only 107 or 112 (moderate energy), but those come with cross-onshore winds that just chop everything to pieces. Most of the time, energy is measured in single or double digits, meaning it's weak as dishwater.
We’re looking at La Zenia, a reef break that’s already inconsistent and for experts only. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, and coming from the east or southeast, which isn't the ideal direction for the spot. Winds are almost always cross or cross-on, so you can forget about any clean faces. The water temperature sat at 82° on the 25th, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bathtub. But it doesn't matter, because there's no surf to enjoy it.
Honestly, there’s no standout day. Not one. You’d be better off saving your energy. Forecasts can change, but this is a solid blank run for the area. If you're desperate for time on the water, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the consistent cross-onshore breeze. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
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.
