The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you—this stretch ahead for La Zenia is a tough one to write. We’re looking at a real dry spell on the reef.
Over the next 16 days, the surf is going to be a no-show for the vast majority of the time. We're talking a long gap with essentially no surf to speak of. From the start of the period right through to around the 13th of September, the wave energy is flat, with most readings showing combined swell energy barely reaching double digits—like 3, 10, even 0 on some mornings. It's weak. The swell heights just aren't there.
Now, there is a small bump in the road around the 14th of September. Tuesday morning the 14th sees the best pulse of the whole forecast, with a 4ft swell from the East, and a combined energy reading of 89—still modest but the highest we’ll see. The wind is light cross-shore from the NNE, so conditions will be workable. The period is short, only 6 seconds, so don't expect any groundswell grunt. This will be a small, crumbly wave. It might be okay for a log or a funboard, but for most, it's still a marginal day. The afternoon gets choppy with a 12 mph onshore breeze, so the window is small.
Other than that, there are a few fleeting moments of glassy conditions, like the morning of the 15th, but with only 3ft and weak energy, it’s barely rideable. The water is sitting at about 78°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't need a thick suit.
Honestly, for this region, a blank run like this is more normal than a surprise. There just isn’t the swell to get the reef working. If the 14th morning shapes up, it's your only shot, but keep expectations low. The rest of the time, you're better off finding something else to do.
Stay patient,
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.
