The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – for the next 16 days, the surf at La Zenia is a real struggle. There’s no standout session, nothing to get excited about, just a long, dry run of poor conditions.
We start on Thursday the 10th of September with a small 5ft swell from the NE, but it’s got short 6-second period and a cross-on wind at 16 mph. The water is a very warm 81°, much warmer than normal for this time of year, but the surface is just moderate cross-onshore and choppy. Combined wave energy is weak (114). Not worth paddling out. Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th drop even smaller, with 2ft to 2ft of weak, short-period swell and cross or onshore winds – just messy and flat.
There’s a real gap of almost no surf from Sunday the 13th through Thursday the 17th of September. Swell heights drop to 2ft and then to nothing, with long stretches of glassy flatness or fresh cross-onshore wind. The 18th of September brings a little bump of 4ft from the E, but it’s onshore and choppy, not surfable.
Finally, on Saturday the 19th of September morning, we see the best of a mediocre run. Swell pushes up to 4ft from the ESE with a period of 7 seconds – still short, but the wind goes glassy. Combined energy is moderate (148). The water is still warm and the surface is glassy clean, but the waves are ordinary. It’s an advanced reef break here at La Zenia (Costa Blanca), and it’s inconsistent, breaking only sometimes. If you’re desperate and it’s glassy, you could scratch into a few, but that’s about it.
Sunday the 20th of September morning offers a similar 4ft from the ESE, light cross-offshore wind, and combined energy of 143. Clean conditions again, but still just ordinary surfable waves. After that, the swell fades away quickly through the end of the period into late September, with nothing but tiny 0.3ft to 2ft leftover windswell and poor winds.
There is no standout. The combined wave energy never hits strong territory – the highest we see is 156 (still moderate). For this area, a blank run like this is pretty normal, so forecasts might change, but right now it’s a long stretch of flat and poor.
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.
