Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for La Zenia over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I'm looking at the whole run and I gotta be straight with ya – it's pretty grim. This is one of those stretches where you might be better off leaving the board in the shed. We've got an inconsistent reef break that's mostly seeing tiny, weak dribble and it's not looking like it's gonna turn on at all. The combined swell energy is barely a whisper, with readings like 5, 17, 10 – nothing even gets into triple digits, so it's just flat-out weak. The water is way warmer than usual for this time of year though, sitting at 80°F, about 6°F above average, which is very unusual, but that's about the only interesting thing in the whole forecast.
Starting off on the 11th of July, you've got a tiny 1ft swell but with an onshore easterly wind at 16 mph, so that's a total write-off. We roll into Sunday the 12th, and it's a bit of a tease. The swell bumps up to 3ft in the morning, but it's coming from the ENE at a short 5-second period with a cross-on breeze. It's poor. That pattern just repeats day after day: a bit of height but always with the wrong wind and no energy behind it.
There's a glimmer on the morning of Wednesday the 16th – we get a clean, cross-off wind with 1ft, but who's getting excited about that? And then Friday morning the 17th? Glassy conditions, but the swell is a pathetic 0.7ft with a 4-second period. You'll be doing more floating than surfing.
Looking further out into the second week, it doesn't get much better. The morning of Sunday the 19th is glassy with 2ft of swell, but it's straight from the NE with a 3-second period – short and weak. The morning of the 22nd of July looks like the best of a bad bunch: glassy conditions again, and the swell is up to 3ft with a 6-second period from the east, and the combined energy just breaks into double digits at 53. It's still not what you'd call good surf, but a glassy morning on a 3ft day is your best bet if you're desperate for a paddle.
The thing is, this spot is already inconsistent, and with the swell never having any power behind it, it's just a flat run. No standouts here, folks. A blank run like this is more normal for La Zenia.

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.
