The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. To be honest, looking at the whole 16-day window for La Zenia, it’s a pretty flat and quiet run. There’s no real surf to speak of, and the conditions are mostly poor. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak waves and dodgy winds, so don’t get your hopes up for any decent rides.
The forecast kicks off on Tuesday, 1st September, but it’s a no-go. We’ve got tiny 2ft swell from the east with a short, weak period of 4 seconds and combined energy of just 7 – that’s basically nothing. The wind is a cross-onshore breeze making it choppy and messy. It’s poor surf, plain and simple. That sets the tone for the rest of the week.
Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are more of the same: small 2ft to 2ft easterly swell, still with short periods. The mornings are clean with a light cross-offshore wind, but the wave energy is still weak (24 and 16 respectively). The afternoons get chopped up again by onshore breezes. Nothing to write home about.
Friday the 4th is a bit of a tease. The morning is glassy, flat calm, with a 2ft easterly swell and a period of 5 seconds. The energy is only 22. It’s clean but there’s just no push. The afternoon turns onshore and messy again. Saturday and Sunday follow the same pattern: tiny, weak swells with poor conditions.
Then we hit a real dead zone. From Monday the 7th through to Wednesday the 16th of September, it’s almost completely flat. The combined energy values drop to single digits or zero. There are a few glassy moments on the 8th, 13th, 14th, and 15th, but with no swell to speak of. It’s a total drought. If you’re looking for any kind of wave, you’re out of luck.
The only break on offer is La Zenia, a reef setup that’s advanced and inconsistent. It rarely breaks, and when it does, crowds are often an issue. The optimum swell direction is from the east, but the swells we’re seeing are so small and weak they can’t even get the place going. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird going on there.
Honestly, this is a blank run. It’s normal for this area to go quiet like this. Forecasts can change, but for now, pack the board away or try something else. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if you’re desperate for a session.
Stay patient,
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.
