The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days at La Zenia are looking pretty grim for a paddle. We’re starting from now, and the first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Monday the 14th of September. That’s a long, dry gap of about two weeks with nothing worth getting wet for.
This is a reef break that’s inconsistent, and this forecast is a perfect example of why. For the first two weeks, you’ll see tiny slivers of swell, but the wind is all wrong – mostly cross-onshore or onshore from the east and southeast, which just turns the place into a mess. The wave energy is basically non-existent, with values barely reaching double digits until the very end.
The only flicker of hope comes on Monday the 14th of September. The morning session is your best bet. We’re looking at a clean, glassy start with wind from the WSW at 3 mph. The swell will be a weak 4 ft from the east, with a period of 6 seconds, giving a combined energy of just 83 (weak energy). It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary – nothing to write home about. The afternoon goes south as the wind swings around to the SSE at 12 mph, making it choppy again.
So, if you’re hanging for a wave, the morning of the 14th is the only window. It’s not a standout, it’s just the only game in town. The water temperature is a notable 81°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s little comfort with no waves.
This is a tough one. The reef rarely delivers, and this run of poor conditions is pretty normal for the area. We’ll see what the next forecast brings.
Stay patient,
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.
