The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be honest, I've stared at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and it's a tough one. We're looking at a real flat spell. The first few days offer almost nothing, and the pattern doesn't really change. This is one of those stretches where you might be better off checking the tide pools or taking the board in for a repair.
The first real chance of anything that isn't total flatness shows up around the 9th of August, but it’s still not good. The swell is tiny, maybe 5ft, blasting in from the ENE, but with a fresh cross-onshore wind at 19 mph, it's going to be a lumpy, blowy mess. The combined energy is only just getting to double digits (98), so it's weak as dishwater. For a spot like La Zenia, which is an exposed reef, it needs a decent push from the east to really work, and we just aren't getting it. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing wild there.
The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off. We're looking at days on end with zero surf, or waves so small and weak they’re not even worth paddling for. The wind does swing offshore a few times, like on the 2nd and 4th, but the swell is 1ft or 2ft. It's just not enough to break. Even when that bump of windswell hits on the 9th, the period is only 5 seconds – pure chop.
Honestly, for a reef break that’s inconsistent at the best of times, this is a long, dry run. There's simply nothing to recommend for a paddle session. The only thing that setup on the 9th might be good for is a kite session, if you’re into that.
Keep your eyes on the long-range forecasts, but for now, I'd save your energy.
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.
