The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch is looking pretty flat. We’re talking about a long, quiet run with barely a ripple to get excited about. The first solid week has nothing worth paddling out for, just tiny, weak waves with poor energy. The combined swell energy is almost non-existent, barely cracking double digits (9 is the highest we see in the early days). The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 79°, but that’s the only highlight.
The first real chance you’ll see anything comes on the morning of Saturday the 10th of September. Up at La Zenia, a small easterly swell pushes through at 3 ft, with a period of 6 seconds and a combined energy of 74. It’s still categorised as poor surf, and the wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’s not going to be clean. It’s more of a sign that the ocean is still breathing than a reason to grab your board.
Then, honestly, things just kind of fizzle out again. Through the middle of the second week, we get a couple of mornings with glassy conditions – the 11th and 16th of September mornings have a light offshore or glassy breeze, but the swell is tiny, just 1 ft, with barely any energy (15 and 3 respectively). The waves are too small and weak to ride.
The real standout? There isn’t one. The only break on the list is La Zenia, a reef setup that’s inconsistent and best for advanced surfers. It’s exposed to the east, but the optimum swell direction is from the east, so when it does get swell, it lines up. But we’re not seeing that in the 16-day window. The swell is too small, the periods are short (4-8 seconds), and the energy is just too weak to make it worth the effort. If you’re a kite surfer, the afternoons with onshore wind might offer a bit of fun, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a blank run.
It’s a quiet period, but it doesn’t tend to stay this poor for long around here, so keep an eye on the forecasts.
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.
