The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a wave. I’ve scanned the charts and honest to god, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The whole run is a flat spell, so get ready for a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions.
The first little bump of energy shows up around Sunday the 26th at La Zenia, a reef setup. We’ve got a weak 4ft swell from the ENE, but the period is a short, punchless 5 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 56, so there’s almost no power behind it. Add to that a strong onshore wind at 16 mph from the ESE, and you’re looking at blown-out, choppy slop. The water is a whopping 83° – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year – but it won’t save the surf. You’d be better off just floating on your back.
Monday morning the 27th offers a brief moment of glassy conditions with a light NNE breeze, but the swell drops to 1ft. It’s barely a ripple. The rest of the week is a rinse-and-repeat of small, weak swells from the E and ESE, with periods stuck between 5 and 7 seconds. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess of what little bump there is.
We hit a bit of a lull in the middle of the first week, and then it just gets worse. From the 30th of July through to the 10th of August, the swell height barely cracks 2ft, and the combined energy often drops into single digits. The 7th of August Friday morning shows a glimpse of something with a period of 8 seconds and a clean cross-offshore wind from the west, but the swell is only 1ft. It’s a tease, not a ride.
This is a tough one. The area is seeing a proper blank run, which isn’t unheard of. The good news is things like this tend to turn around, but for now, I’d leave the board in the car and go find something else to do. Keep your eyes on the horizon, but there’s nothing to get excited about.
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.
