The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch gears to feet and miles. Same story, different numbers.
Rusty here. It’s a tough outlook for the next couple of weeks. Swell is just not showing up in any meaningful way for a long stretch. La Zenia (reef) is an inconsistent spot that needs an easterly swell, and we aren’t getting it.
From Tuesday the 11th through Monday the 17th, it’s all tiny. Swell heights are 1ft to 2ft, with super short periods of 3 to 5 seconds. Wave energy is weak, reading between 2 and 27 (combined energy of all swells). It’s poor surf. Even when the wind goes glassy, like Friday morning the 14th or Saturday morning the 15th, there’s just no power. You’d be waiting for nothing.
Tuesday the 18th is the first day that shows a little life. The swell gets to 3ft from the east, with a 6-second period, and the wind turns offshore from the NNW in the afternoon. Wave energy is 39 (combined energy of all swells). It’s clean, but it’s still a weak, short-period wave at an inconsistent spot. Not a standout, just a pulse.
The real standout is Tuesday the 25th morning. The swell jumps to 5ft from the east, period of 7 seconds, and energy hits 179 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-shore from the NE. That’s the only day in the whole 16-day window where the swell gets over 4ft. It’s nearly two weeks out, so it’s promising but not a sure thing. For a reef break that’s inconsistent and rarely breaks, this is the one to watch. The water temp is about normal for the time of year.
After that, Wednesday the 26th morning still has 3ft of swell with a 6-second period and 78 energy, but it’s dropping and the wind is cross-on.
Bottom line: circle Tuesday the 25th for a potential session. The rest is flat or weak. Forecasts can shift, but for now, it’s a quiet stretch.
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.
