The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for ya in feet and miles per hour.
It’s a lean spell, no two ways about it. The first week is a write-off, and the whole 16-day run is mostly a bust.
From Saturday the 5th through Wednesday morning the 9th of September, there’s nothing doing. Tiny 0.3ft to 2ft dribble with periods of 4 to 5 seconds – total lake conditions. The wave energy is pathetic, barely registering.
The one bright spot is Thursday morning the 10th of September. Swell jumps to 4ft from the NE with an 8-second period, and the combined energy hits a moderate 255. The wind is light offshore from the W, so it’ll be glassy. That’s your window, and it’s a narrow one – by afternoon the wind goes onshore and it’s over.
After that, it’s back to the small stuff. From Friday the 11th through Sunday the 20th, we’re looking at waves from 1ft to 3ft with weak periods and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. Water temp on the 5th is 79°, which is a touch warmer than usual.
Wednesday morning the 16th of September has some glassy conditions and 4ft from the E, but the energy is still weak at 85. It’s surfable, but just barely.
La Zenia is an inconsistent reef that needs a specific E swell, and we’re just not getting it. The only real call is Thursday the 10th morning – be there.

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.
