The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin' for the next couple of weeks at La Zenia.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell of tiny, weak surf with no real energy to speak of. For the first ten days, from Friday 17th July right through to the end of Sunday 26th July, the swell is practically non-existent. We’re talking ankle-biters at best, with the combined energy barely registering a whisper (values between 1 and 31). The winds are all over the shop – mostly cross or onshore, and when it does go glassy or offshore, there’s simply no swell to ride. It’s a proper dead period.
Then, we finally see a pulse of life. On Tuesday 28th July, the morning shows a little bump to 3 ft from the east, with a period of 6 seconds, but the wind is cross-shore and the combined energy is still weak (76). The afternoon gets a bit punchier with 5 ft, but the wind swings cross-on at 22 mph, making it a lumpy mess. The combined energy climbs to a moderate 193, but the quality is poor.
The only real standout comes on Wednesday 29th July. The morning session offers the best chance we’ll see. The swell is 4 ft from the ENE with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits a solid 226. The wind is a gentle cross-shore, which should keep the surface fairly clean. This is the only window where the surf is even worth a look, though it’s still only a marginal call. The afternoon sees the wind pick up and ruin it again.
After that, it fades back into small, sloppy conditions for the first of August. A few days of 5 ft and 5 ft swell roll through, but they’re always accompanied by a cross-onshore breeze that’s just too strong to keep it clean. The entire forecast is a real struggle for a dedicated surfer.
So, the honest truth? There’s only one window that’s even worth paddling out for: Wednesday 29th July morning. It’s not going to be a world-beater, but it’s the best we’ve got. The water temp is about average for the time of year, no big anomalies to talk about.
That’s the long and short of it. Keep your eyes on the charts, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
