The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for La Zenia. Straight up, I’ll be honest with you—this is a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is pretty flat and lifeless. There’s not a single session that I’d call a proper standout, so we’re going through a long, quiet period here. The first few days offer nothing rideable, and the same pattern holds right through. There are big gaps with zero recommendations, and the surf just never gets going. Keep your expectations low.

Looking at Monday the 10th of August, it’s dead small. That morning you’ve got a tiny 2 ft easterly swell, but it’s only 5 seconds of period—just windslop. The wind is glassy from the east at 3 mph, so the water’s clean, but there’s no push at all. Combined swell energy is a weak 14, and the wave comment says it all: poor surf conditions. Not worth paddling out for.

Tuesday the 11th is even worse. Morning swell drops to 1 ft, period still 5 seconds, combined energy down to 5. It’s glassy again, but that’s irrelevant when there’s nothing to ride. Afternoon picks up a light onshore breeze.

Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th stay tiny, with heights barely scraping 1 ft and short periods. Winds are cross or cross-onshore, adding a bit of chop. Combined energy is in the single digits to low teens. Forget it.

Friday the 14th morning shows a clean little 0.7 ft wave with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW at 3 mph, but again, combined energy is only 2. You’d be floating around doing nothing.

Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th see a slight bump. Sunday morning the 16th has the biggest swell of the whole period at 3 ft from the ESE, with a period of 6 seconds. Combined energy reaches 54—still weak. Winds are cross from the NNE at 9 mph, so it’s a bit choppy. It’s surfable for a longboard if you’re desperate, but it’s not good. La Zenia is an inconsistent reef break, so you need proper swell to get it working, and this isn’t it.

From Monday the 17th through to Tuesday the 25th, it’s rinse and repeat. Tiny waves, mostly under 2 ft, short periods, and a lot of cross-onshore wind. A couple of mornings like the 22nd and 24th show glassy or offshore conditions, but the swell is barely a ripple. Combined energy stays below 33. There’s a morning on the 20th with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the WSW at 6 mph, but the swell is only 2 ft. Not enough.

If you’re a kite surfer, some of those afternoons with a moderate cross-onshore breeze and a bit of chop might look more interesting, but for a paddle surfer, this is a blank run. La Zenia is a reef break that needs proper easterly groundswell to fire, and we’re just not getting it. The water temp is about average for August, nothing unusual to report.

That’s the story, folks. Hang tight and check back—forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long wait. Rusty out.

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.
