The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up for us.
To be straight with you, it’s a pretty lean run ahead. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t pop up until the tail end of the period, so we’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions through most of August. The water is sitting at 84°F, which is much warmer than normal for the time of year – 6°F above average – so at least the wait will be comfortable.
Of the few windows that open up, the standout is Wednesday morning, 26 August at La Zenia. It's a reef setup that’s inconsistent and only really for advanced crew. You’ll see a small but fun 4ft NE swell pushing in with a period of 5 seconds – short period, so it’s not packing much punch. The combined wave energy is weak at 69. Wind is glassy out of the WSW at 0 mph, which means the surface will be clean. It’s not big, but it'll be the pick of a very quiet spell.
After that, Thursday morning, 27 August also looks clean with 3ft of E swell under glassy conditions – light offshore from the north. It’s still small, and the energy is moderate at 75. Not a world-beater, but rideable.
The only other morning with a bit of clean shape is Friday morning, 28 August, with 3ft from the ESE and a light cross-offshore breeze. Again, weak energy at 70.
Don’t get your hopes up for the rest of the window. The swell stays under 3ft most days with short periods, and the wind is often cross-onshore or choppy. The 29th sees a slight bump in combined energy to 137, but the 4ft E swell is too short-period to offer much quality, and with the onshore breeze, it’s unlikely to be worth the paddle.
La Zenia is a reef, so even small clean days can offer a sneaky wave if you know where to sit. The setup is exposed to the east, which is what we’re getting. Crowds are likely here, but given how small it is, most will stay out of the water.
So in short: wait until that last week of August for a tiny window of glassy, clean waves. Don’t bother before then.
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.
