The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for this stretch of coast. I'll be straight with you, it's a pretty quiet run overall, but there's a little something brewing if you're patient.
The big story for the first week and a half is... not much. We've got a real flat spell on our hands. From now until the middle of the month, the swell is tiny to non-existent. You'll see a few ripples here and there, but nothing worth getting wet for. The water is sitting at a very warm 80°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least it'll be a nice swim if you're desperate.
The first real pulse of energy shows up around Thursday the 10th of September at La Zenia. We're looking at a 3ft swell from the ENE with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 133. The wind is a cross-shore from the NE at 12 mph, so it's not going to be clean, but there might be a few bumpy ones. Honestly, it's a "beggars can't be choosers" kind of day.
The weekend of the 12th and 13th is pretty grim again, with small, choppy surf and building winds, even some storm risk on Sunday.
Now, here's where it gets a bit more interesting. We're looking at the weekend of the 19th and 20th of September. Saturday the 19th sees a consistent 3ft swell from the east, with a 6-second period and combined energy of 69 in the morning, building to 4ft and 85 in the afternoon. The wind is cross-shore from the NE in the morning, turning cross-on from the east later. It's not perfect, but it's the most surf we've seen.
But the real standout, and I mean the only one that has any real punch, is Sunday the 20th of September. We've got a solid 5ft swell from the east, with a 7-second period. The combined energy jumps right up to 199, which is moderate to strong. The wind is light from the SE in the morning, making it only a light cross-onshore, which is the best wind we'll see for any of these swells. This is the one day where you could actually get a few decent, punchy waves. It's still going to be a bit onshore and lumpy, but it's the biggest and most energetic swell of the whole forecast. For an advanced spot like La Zenia, this is the pick of the bunch. Just be aware, this is a long-range call, so things can change, but as it stands, that Sunday the 20th is your best bet.
After that, the swell fades again through the 21st. So, to sum it up: a long flat spell, a few marginal days in the middle, and one promising Sunday at the end of the second week. Keep your eyes on that one.
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.
