The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for La Zenia is a tough one. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, but it’s a real slow burn. The first week is basically a write-off, and we’re waiting a long time for anything that even resembles a surf. The good news is there’s a small window of potential right at the end of the first week, but you’ll need to be patient.
The first hint of any action comes on the morning of Monday, July 29th. Up until then, it’s been flat or choppy, with barely a ripple worth paddling for. Even on that Monday, it’s not exactly pumping. La Zenia reef will see a small 4ft swell from the ESE, with a period of 6 seconds. The wind will be a light cross-offshore from the N at 12 mph, which is clean. The combined energy is weak (93), so it’s not powerful. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary – just enough to get a few wobbly ones. The water is about average for the time of year.
The real standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Tuesday, July 30th. The swell picks up a touch more size, but the wind swings around to a light cross-shore from the NE at 6 mph. The swell is 5ft from the E with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (339). Again, it’s not a classic, but it’s the cleanest, most consistent look we get. The period is short, so it won’t be the most drawn-out ride, but it’s the best on offer. The break is inconsistent, so don’t expect a set every minute.
After that, it fades back into the doldrums. The second week is a mix of tiny swell and onshore chop, with nothing worth getting excited about. The afternoon of Sunday, August 4th, shows a pulse of 3ft ENE swell with moderate energy (111), but it’s onshore wind, so it’ll be a messy close-out.
Honestly, folks, this is a lean spell. The only real window is that Tuesday morning, July 30th, for the more experienced crew who can make the most of a small, short-period reef. For everyone else, save the petrol.
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.
