The Lowdown
Well, grab a coffee and pull up a stool, because the next 16 days are looking pretty bleak for this stretch of coast. The only real break on the cards is La Zenia, and honestly, it’s a tough watch. The forecast shows a massive gap in any decent surf for the first two weeks. We’re talking a full 14 days from the start of the forecast right through to the morning of Thursday, August 13th, where the swell is just too small, wind is wrong, or it’s flat. Every single day in that stretch is marked as poor surf conditions. It’s a long, dry spell.
The first sign of anything rideable shows up on the morning of Thursday, August 13th. The water is a stunning 82°F – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick wetsuit. But the swell? It’s small at 3ft from the east, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 69. It’s glassy, which is a big positive, but the waves are just ordinary. The offshore wind here is from the WNW, and the swell is coming from the east, so the direction is okay, but the size is really lacking.
Friday, August 14th morning offers a tiny step up. The swell hits 4ft from the ESE with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy bumps up to 118, which is still weak. The wind is a light offshore from the north, keeping things clean. It’s still nothing to write home about – surfable, but very ordinary. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore from the ESE, ruining it.
The best of a poor bunch is probably that Friday morning, August 14th. 4ft from the ESE, with a clean offshore breeze. It’s not big, it’s not powerful, but it’s the only window where the wind lines up. Don’t expect any crowds at La Zenia – it’s inconsistent, and when it’s this small, only the dedicated will be out. For the rest of the 16 days, there’s nothing. A blank run like this is normal for the area when the swell windows just don’t open.

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.
