The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you straight up. For the next sixteen days, the surf outlook for La Zenia is pretty damn grim. We've got a long, flat stretch ahead with hardly anything worth paddling out for. Just a heads up, there's a bit of a gap from now until the 21st of September where you’re not gonna find any decent waves, just tiny, choppy slop at best. Let's walk through the only glimmer of hope we get.
Honestly, the only time that even comes close to being interesting is around the 21st of September. On the Monday morning, we see a pulse of swell showing up, about 4ft from the ENE. The combined energy is moderate, sitting at 236. It's a longer period swell too, around 9 seconds, which means it'll have a bit more shape but you'll be waiting longer for the sets. The wind is light and cross-onshore, so it’ll be a little bumpy, but not a total mess.
The next day, the 22nd of September, Tuesday morning, the swell picks up a touch more to 4ft from the NNE, with a combined energy of 330. Still moderate energy, but with a cross-shore breeze, it’s manageable. This is the best we see in the whole period, but even then it's only scoring as marginal. For a reef break that's inconsistent and often crowded, this is a tough ask. Don't expect any kind of classic session. The water temp on the 10th was 81°, which is much warmer than usual for the time of year, so at least you won't need a wetsuit if you're desperate to get wet.
For the rest of the two weeks? A whole lot of nothing. Tiny, weak swells, mostly onshore winds, and a lot of glassy flat spells. The 15th through the 20th of September are almost entirely flat. This blank run is pretty normal for the area when there's no proper swell in the forecast.
So, the only real standout window is Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd of September. It's not going to be epic, but it's all we've got.

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.
