Table - best surf conditions forecast for La Zenia over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve been staring at the charts for La Zenia and, truth be told, it’s a pretty grim outlook. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, but the first week and a half is basically a write-off. There’s a gap from now until around Wednesday the 22nd of July where you’d be better off waxing your board and staring at it than paddling out. The water is sitting at a very unusual 80°F (much warmer than normal for this time of year), but that’s about the only exciting thing.
Forget about the first many days – Saturday the 11th to Tuesday the 21st are all rated as poor surf conditions. We’re talking tiny dribbles of swell, mostly under 1ft, with onshore or cross-onshore winds ruining any chance of a clean face. The combined swell energy barely hits double digits (2 to 73) – it’s just weak and sad. There’s a brief moment on the morning of Monday the 13th where it goes glassy, but with only 2ft of swell and a combined energy of just 15, it’s a lake, not a wave.
Now, the only real glimmer of hope comes on Wednesday the 22nd of July. The morning session at La Zenia (a reef break) finally offers something: a 3ft swell from the ESE with a 6-second period. The wind goes light cross-offshore from the west at 6 mph, which keeps it clean. The combined swell energy bumps up to 60 – still moderate, but at least it’s something. This is an inconsistent spot and it’s an advanced wave, so it’s not for the faint-hearted, and it can be crowded often. If you’re an experienced surfer and you’re jonesing, that Wednesday morning is the only real stand-out in the whole run. Even then, the afternoon turns sloppy with a strong cross-onshore.
The rest of the run after that? More of the same: tiny or messy. Thursday the 23rd starts glassy but with only 1ft, and by the afternoon it’s 4ft but onshore. Not worth it. The following days show a few clean moments with light offshore winds on the 25th and 26th, but again, the swell is small and the energy is weak.
Honestly, for this spot, a long dry spell like this isn’t unusual. Best to keep the board in the car and watch for a change. Forecasts can flip, but right now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
