The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the line for our patch.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are a bit of a grind for La Zenia. We’re staring at a long stretch of small, wind-affected slop. The short period swell that’s knocking about is mostly generating weak, choppy energy (combined energy values are mostly under 100). It’s going to take a while before things clean up properly.
The first real sniff of something decent doesn’t show up until Monday the 28th of September. That morning, we get a bit of a reprieve. The wind goes glassy out of the northwest, and the swell ticks up to 5 ft at 8 seconds from the southeast. The wave energy kicks into a moderate range (440). That’s the standout window. It's got clean conditions and the biggest swell we've seen in a while, but with that period under 8 seconds, the waves will be a bit crumbly and lack that proper push. Still, it’s the best you’re going to get compared to the rest of the mess.
Before that, you’ll have to wade through a lot of poor surf. There’s a couple of cleaner mornings on the 21st and 22nd, but 1 ft to 2 ft with hardly any energy makes it hardly worth the paddle. Wednesday the 23rd is surfable but very ordinary.
Tuesday the 29th also starts glassy with a little 3 ft east swell, but again, it's ordinary. The afternoon brings an onshore breeze to mess it up.
So, keep your eyes on the morning of the 28th. That's the one to aim for. The rest is a waiting game.
Signing off,
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.
