The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks at La Zenia.
Honestly, if you’re looking to get wet, you’re going to be waiting a while. The whole first 11 days of this forecast are a real struggle. We’re talking about a stretch from Sunday the 19th right through to Wednesday the 29th of July where there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. Tiny waves, or no waves at all, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-on, making a mess of things. It’s a write-off.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Thursday the 30th of July. The morning session at La Zenia (reef) finally sees a bit of life. We’ve got a 8ft swell from the E, with a period of 8 seconds. That’s a big, powerful wave – the combined energy is strong at 1028 – but it’s pushing into the “experts only” zone. The morning wind is a gentle cross-shore from the NE, which is just about workable, but it’s not clean. The call is marginal, and it’s only for the real experienced crew who know the reef. The afternoon sees the wind swing onshore again, so that window is tight.
After that, the surf drops off fast. Friday the 31st of July morning has a clean 3ft NE swell (6 seconds) with a light cross-off wind from the NNW, but the energy is only moderate (105) and the conditions are described as ordinary. The same goes for Saturday the 1st of August morning – a glassy 3ft ENE swell (6 seconds) with a weak energy of 103. It’s surfable, but it’s not going to get the heart racing.
The standout in this whole 16-day window, if you can call it that, is the morning of Thursday the 30th of July. That’s the only day with any real size and power. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or both. The water temperature is a very unusual 81°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit.
So, in short: the first 11 days are a total bust. The best bet is Thursday the 30th of July morning for the advanced crew only, and then a few ordinary, surfable mornings after that. If you’re an intermediate or beginner, this is not your window.
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.
