The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about what we’ve got. Honestly, it’s not much. The next 16 days are looking flat and weak, with hardly any proper surf. The water’s sitting at 85°, which is well above normal for this time of year—about 7° warmer than average. That’s very unusual.
There aren’t any real standouts, so here’s the rundown on the few moments that might just be worth a look.
Starting now—Saturday the 22nd—is a total loss. A 1 ft swell from the south with a 4-second period and energy at 3. It’s barely moving. A light cross-onshore wind doesn’t help. It’s poor all day.
Sunday the 23rd morning is a step up, but not by much. A 1 ft swell from the northeast, period 6 seconds, and a light cross-offshore wind makes it clean, but the energy is only 12. You’ll be scratching.
Monday the 24th morning is the best of the week. A 3 ft swell from the east-southeast, period 6 seconds, clean with a light offshore, and energy at 42. It’s still weak, but it’s the most you’ll see. The afternoon gets messy with a strong cross-onshore.
Tuesday the 25th morning has a 1 ft easterly swell, clean offshore wind, but energy is just 8. Not worth it.
Wednesday the 26th morning is glassy—dead calm—with a 2 ft east swell, period 6 seconds, and energy at 23. Clean, but tiny.
From Thursday the 27th onward, it’s flat. Swells drop to 0.7 ft or less, energy falls to single digits, and the wind is often onshore. This poor run lasts through to the 6th of September.
In the second week, the least bad days are the 30th of August: a 3 ft east-northeasterly swell, period 5 seconds, and energy at 58, but a gentle cross-onshore wind makes it bumpy. The 31st of August morning has a light cross-shore wind and a 2 ft east swell, period 5 seconds, energy at 28.
The 6th of September afternoon shows a 3 ft north-easterly swell, period just 4 seconds, and energy at 29, but a moderate cross-onshore wind makes it choppy.
This is a long, flat stretch. No standout session in sight. If you had to pick, go for the morning of Monday the 24th of August or the glassy morning of the 26th of August, but keep your expectations low.

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.
