The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a pretty bleak stretch ahead for La Zenia. We’re looking at a full 16-day window with barely a ripple worth getting wet for. There’s a long gap from now until... well, pretty much the whole period. Every single entry in the forecast is flagged as poor surf conditions. Nothing’s really changing. The energy just isn't there, with combined swell energy mostly in the single digits or low double digits, the highest being a meagre 44 – which is still weak. You’re looking at ankle to knee-high slop at best, and most days it’s crossed up or choppy. The swell periods are short, mostly between 4 and 6 seconds, so no grunt behind them. The direction is mainly from the east and southeast, which isn't ideal for this spot either – La Zenia is a reef setup that likes an easterly swell direction to show its best.
The water temperature is a standout, though. It’s sitting at 84°F, which is a massive 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that's very unusual, like bathwater warm. But the ocean’s flat, so you’re just floating in a warm puddle.
There are a couple of mornings with clean, glassy conditions – like Friday the 7th morning, and again on Wednesday the 12th morning – but even then, there’s no swell to ride. A couple of days like the 20th have a light offshore wind (NW at 9 mph), which would normally have me excited, but again, we’re talking about 0.4m (1 ft) of weak, short-period junk. Even by the 22nd, when the energy hits its highest (44), it’s still accompanied by a moderate cross-onshore breeze and a choppy sea state. There’s no standout session here, no day to circle on the calendar. For beginners, it’s not even worth looking at, even if the small size would be manageable, because the quality is just too poor. It’s one of those stretches where you’re better off checking if the wind swell picks up for kite surfing if that’s your thing, because for paddle surfing, there’s nothing doing.
We don’t always get long blank spells like this, so it's just one of those quiet runs. Forecasts can change, but right now, I'd say leave the board at home.

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.
