The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer around La Zenia over the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, mate, it’s a pretty grim stretch for the most part. For the first ten days, the combined wave energy is tiny – mostly single-digit or low double-digit values (25 at best), and the swell height barely gets over 2ft. The wind is messy, often cross-on or onshore, and the period is short, around 4 to 7 seconds, so it’s weak, mushy, and unappealing. The water temperature is a notable 82°F on the 25th of August, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s firing.
There’s a real gap here. From the 25th of August straight through to the morning of the 4th of September, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. Every single session is rated as poor surf conditions.
The first flicker of anything happens on the morning of Friday, the 5th of September. The wind swings offshore from the west, glassy clean, and we get a 4ft east-northeast groundswell with a 6-second period. The combined energy reading is 107 (moderate), but the swell direction is from the east-northeast, and this spot wants it from the east. It’s surfable but very ordinary. Still, it’s the best we’ve seen in two weeks. That morning is the only real standout, and it’s not a classic. If you’re desperate, you could get a few lacklustre ones.
After that, the wind stays clean on the 6th, but the swell drops back to 3ft and the energy fades to 45-58. It’s small, clean, but forgettable. The whole second week is a write-off otherwise – tiny, weak, and wind-damaged.
So, honestly, the pick of a very poor bunch is the morning of the 5th of September. Don’t expect much, but it’s the only window where the wind and swell line up enough to make it worth a look.

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.
