The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get honest – it’s a slow one for this stretch of coast.
We’ve got a straight run of tiny to non-existent surf right through until August 8th. That’s a solid gap of over a week with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. The water’s sitting around average for the time of year, nothing unusual there, but the waves just aren’t showing up.
There is a tiny flicker of hope on the morning of Saturday, August 8th at La Zenia (reef) . We’re looking at an ENE groundswell pushing in at about 4ft with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is still weak at just 90, so it’s not going to have much push, but the wind is light offshore from the NW, which will clean it right up. It’s a reef break that’s on the inconsistent side and can draw a crowd, so expect company if you want that one shifty peak.
Beyond that, the following days drop back down to ankle-snappers with onshore wind. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for proper waves. If you’re desperate for a little slide, the 8th morning is your only real look. Otherwise, keep the board in the car and hope the charts look better next time.

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.
