The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here again.
Let’s call it like it is: the next week and a half is flat and frustrating at La Zenia. Tiny, weak swell, mostly onshore wind – not worth getting wet for. Water temp is a balmy 80°F, which is about 5°F warmer than usual for early September – proper warm, but that’s the only thing pumping.
From Tuesday the 8th through Monday the 21st, we’re scraping the barrel. Swell heights mostly under 3 feet, with periods of 4 to 8 seconds – that’s pure windswell junk. The combined energy is weak, mostly in the teens and twenties, with a few blips like 32 and 63, but it’s all poor quality. Wind’s mostly cross-on or onshore, making it choppy. A couple of glassy mornings – Friday the 11th and Monday the 14th – but with only 2 to 2 feet of swell, you’d be chasing foam balls. Not worth it.
There’s a slight bump on Tuesday the 22nd morning – swell gets to about 4 feet from the NE at 5 seconds, glassy, with energy at 70. It’s surfable but ordinary. Then Wednesday the 23rd morning looks a touch better: 3 feet from the NE at 7 seconds, energy at 102, and glassy. That’s the best of the whole run. Still short period, but at least there’s a bit of push.
So if you’re keen, the morning of Wednesday the 23rd is your window. 3-foot NE swell, clean conditions, at an exposed reef that doesn’t break often. It’s an advanced spot, so leave the soft-tops at home. If you’re a beginner, this is still small enough to be safe, but the inconsistency will frustrate you.
Otherwise, it’s a long stretch of nothing. But the water’s warm, the sky’s clear, and things can change. Hang in there.

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.
