The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this straight. I’ve been looking at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I’m not going to sugarcoat it: it’s flat out bleak for a while. We’ve got a solid stretch of days where you’d be better off taking the board off the roof and doing some maintenance. The first week is a total write-off, with barely a ripple and a whole lot of nothing. It’s not until the second weekend that we finally see a pulse of life, and even then, it’s not going to be a day for the history books.
The one spot that’s even worth talking about is La Zenia. It’s a reef setup, exposed to the east, and it’s about as inconsistent as they come, so you know it’s got to be a special set of conditions to get it working. The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Saturday, August 23rd. The morning session is your pick. We’ve got a glassy, calm ocean with a southeast wind at 0 mph, and the swell is pushing in at 2 ft from the east with a period of 5 seconds. The energy is still weak, reading 13 in the combined energy. It’s not big, but it’s clean. That’s the best call of the whole window.
Before that, there’s a whole lot of nothing. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, the swell is tiny if it’s there at all, and the energy readings are in the low single digits. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The east swell direction is the one La Zenia wants, but the size and period just aren't there to make it a proper session. It’s a long, dry spell. The kind that makes you wonder if the ocean forgot where it is.
So, mark your calendar for Saturday the 23rd. If you can get out there for the dawn patrol, you might find a clean, rideable wave. Don’t expect much, but it’ll be the best we get. It’s a long way out, so don’t book the day off work just yet, but it’s something to keep an eye on. For now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
