The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about this stretch of coast. Looking at the whole 16-day window, we’ve got a long, flat spell to start, and honestly, the surf options are few and far between. The first real chance to paddle out doesn’t show up until the very end.
We kick off on Thursday, 27th August, with nothing doing. The water is glassy in the morning, only 3 mph wind from the WSW, but the swell is a big fat zero. The afternoon sees a tiny 3 ft swell from the SSW, but it’s a weak 6-second period and cross-on shore wind, so the conditions are choppy and poor. That sets the tone for the next couple of weeks.
From Friday, 28th August, right through to Monday, 7th September, it’s a total drought. We’re looking at flat spells or tiny, weak waves with poor energy, and the wind is often onshore or cross-onshore. The combined energy barely registers, often single digits – it’s just not worth getting wet. There’s a gap of nearly eleven days where I wouldn’t even bother waxing the board.
The only glimmer comes on Friday, 11th September. The morning at La Zenia (reef break) shows a little pulse: 2 ft of swell from the NE, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a modest 37, so it’s weak. But the wind is glassy – 3 mph from the north – and the water is clean. For a reef break, that offshore wind is a rare treat. The optimum swell direction for this spot is from the east, so this NE swell is a little off-angle, but the clean conditions might make it rideable for a sneaky session. This is the only standout in the entire forecast, and it’s a long way out, so don’t hold your breath.
The rest of the window after that fades back into poor, choppy slop. If you’re a kiter, the afternoons with moderate cross-onshore winds might look more interesting, but for a surfer, it’s a tough run. The water temperature anomaly? Since we don’t have a specific temperature reading, I can’t say much there, but overall, it’s a quiet period for the area.
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.
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.
