Alright, let me get my head around this. The Finders and Guidance are both only looking at one spot: La Zenia. So there’s no other breaks to talk about.
Right off the bat, the Guidance tells us La Zenia is an advanced reef break that is “inconsistent.” That’s the key word here. It’s not a spot that’s always pumping, so you have to be patient. And for this whole 16-day window, you’re going to need a lot of patience.
Looking through the data, from July 6th right through to July 21st, the story is pretty much the same: tiny, weak swell. The combined wave energy is almost always in the single digits or low double digits (like 0, 1, 2, 28)... that’s weak, barely any push. The biggest number I see is 191, which is moderate, but that’s only on one morning. We get a few mornings with a bit of hope, like on Sunday the 12th where we see a 4ft swell from the ENE with glassy conditions in the morning. That is your best bet for the whole period. The swell direction (ENE) isn’t perfect for La Zenia, which likes an easterly (optimum is E), so it’ll be a bit jumbled. But with that glassy, offshore wind it might offer a few fun ones for an advanced surfer who knows the reef. That morning has a combined energy of 191 – the strongest of the whole run – so there is some juice there.
Tuesday the 14th morning is the next best call: 5ft ENE swell with glassy conditions and a combined energy of 176. That’s still small and a little off-direction, but clean.
Everything else is basically flat or blown out. Most afternoons get a cross-onshore or onshore wind that just ruins whatever micro-swell there is. For a few days in a row in the middle of the first week, it’s almost dead flat.
So the honest truth is: for the next two and a half weeks, La Zenia is a tough watch. There’s no big swell coming. The only real standouts are those two glassy mornings I mentioned. If you’re a local who knows the reef and you’re desperate for a slide, paddle out on Sunday the 12th morning or Tuesday the 14th morning. For everyone else, save your energy. The late mornings or early afternoons on the 12th and 13th might give you a tiny little knee-high wave with some wind on it, but it’s not worth rushing for.
Because La Zenia is inconsistent, a blank run like this isn't a huge surprise. It’s just how it goes here sometimes.
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.
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.
