The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at La Zenia over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough start. For the first week and a half, the surf is basically a no-show. From Tuesday the 1st right through to the morning of Saturday the 12th, it’s a whole lot of flatness. The swell just isn't there, with tiny waves and poor conditions. There are a few glassy mornings – like Thursday the 4th morning and Monday the 7th morning – but with waves only 1.0ft to 1ft, it’s barely a ripple. It’s a frustrating stretch, but patience is key here.
Now, things finally get interesting on Saturday the 12th. We see a pulse of energy arrive overnight, with the morning showing a 7ft swell pushing in from the ENE. The combined energy jumps right up to 315 (moderate), which is a big shift. However, the wind is cross-onshore, so that Saturday won’t be clean. Sunday the 13th holds similar size, around 7ft from the ENE (energy 331), but again, the wind is messy.
The real standout, and the only one worth planning for, is Monday morning the 14th. This is it. The wind goes glassy – absolutely dead calm – and we’ve got a solid 8ft swell rolling in from the ENE. The combined energy hits 574 (moderate to strong). That is a proper, clean groundswell with a period of 8 seconds. This is a big swell for a reef break like La Zenia, and with these conditions, it’s going to be fast and powerful. This is strictly for experienced surfers only – over 8ft is expert territory, and at 8ft, it’s fully out of the beginner zone. The water is sitting at a notable 80°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
After that Monday morning, the surf drops off quickly. By Tuesday the 15th we’re back down to 3ft and poor conditions, and the rest of the forecast window fades into tiny, clean but weak waves.
So, if I’m picking one session to chase, it’s Monday morning the 14th at La Zenia, first light. Get in before the wind shifts onshore. It’s a rare window of quality, and it won’t last long.
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.
