Table - best surf conditions forecast for La Zenia over the next 16 days.
Alright, let's get real. Rusty here, and I gotta tell you, the next couple of weeks at La Zenia are a bust. We're looking at a full 16-day stretch with no real surf to speak of. The water is running a wild 80°F, which is a massive 6°F above normal for this time of year.
The first chance at anything comes on Friday, July 17th, with a 3ft swell from the ENE, but the period is a weak 5 seconds, and the wind is blowing cross-shore, making it a messy, choppy mess. The combined energy is a measly 27, so there's no punch. The rest of the week is full of tiny, weak waves that never even hit 3ft, and the wind is either cross or onshore, keeping everything choppy and uninviting.
The only bright spots are a few glassy mornings. On Monday, July 20th, we get a glassy 2ft wave from the east, but it's still a weak 5-second period and combined energy of 19. You might get a few little knee-high sliders, but it's not worth getting excited about. Then on Tuesday, July 21st, we have a flat calm, glassy morning with a 1ft swell, which is just too small.
The second week is more of the same. A few more glassy mornings on Wednesday, July 22nd and Thursday, July 23rd, but the swell is tiny, rarely reaching 1ft. The wind goes cross-off a few times on the 25th and 26th, but it's on a 1ft to 1ft wave, which is just a lake. Honestly, this looks more like a kiteboarding spot on those windy afternoons. For us surfers, it's a long, flat stretch with nothing to offer.
There's no standout session here. It's a complete write-off for the whole 16 days.
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.
