The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one to write. We’ve got a 16-day window looking out from the 14th of July, and I’m looking at a real quiet stretch for the water. The only spot on the radar is La Zenia, a reef break, but it’s inconsistent and it looks like we’re going to be waiting a long time for anything worthwhile.
For the first week, it’s basically a write-off. Swell is tiny, barely a bump, with heights from 1 foot up to maybe 2 feet, and the period is short – mostly 4 to 6 seconds, which is just weak windswill. The energy numbers are pathetic, barely cracking double digits (mostly 5 to 15), so you’re looking at flat, bumpy water. Winds are a mixed bag, but when the swell is this small, even a glassy morning doesn’t save it. The water temp is a notable 80°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s not going to help the waves.
We go through a big gap here. Nothing is really breaking with any quality until we get into the second week. The morning of the 21st of July shows a little pulse: 3 feet from the east with a 5-second period, and the energy jumps to 46, which is still weak, but it’s the best we’ve seen. The wind is glassy from the northwest, so it’ll be clean. That’s your best bet, but it’s still a marginal day. The 23rd of July morning brings a similar setup: 3 feet from the ESE, period still short at 5 seconds, but the energy is 38 and the wind is cross-off from the north, so it’ll be clean. This is the standout for the whole outlook, but it’s really just a knee-high day with a short period. It’s not a classic.
Honestly, nothing here breaks the 3 feet mark until the 28th of July afternoon, when we see 4 feet from the east with a 6-second period and energy hitting 80. Still, that’s a short-period, onshore wind mess, and the rating is poor. For a reef break that’s inconsistent and needs a specific E swell to work, the whole pattern is just flat.
If you’re in the area, don’t bother bringing the paddle board. The setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a surfer for most of this run. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, save your energy.
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.
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.
