The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the forecast for La Zenia over the next 16 days is a tough one to swallow. I’ve scanned every morning and afternoon from now right through to the 17th of September, and there isn’t a single recommendation to be found. It’s a frustrating blank run where the ocean just isn’t cooperating.
The problem is a persistent lack of any meaningful swell. For the entire period, the wave heights are tiny, barely flickering between 0.7 ft and 3 ft. The periods are short, mostly between 4 and 6 seconds, which means the waves are weak and lack any punch. The combined energy figures tell the whole story, staying in the low double digits and single digits (34 down to 1), which is just about the weakest energy you can get. It’s going to be flat or have tiny, crumbly lumps that won’t offer a proper ride.
The wind does offer some moments of relief – we’ve got a few glassy mornings, like on the 2nd, 4th, 8th, and 15th of September, which would be beautiful for a paddle, but there’s just no wave to ride. The wind state is clean or glassy at times, but the swell is simply absent. This isn’t a case of a bad wind direction ruining a good swell; it’s a case of no swell at all.
For a reef break, La Zenia needs a defined swell direction to work, and it struggles to pick up the small, jumbled energy on offer. The break is inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast window is a classic example of why. It’s one of those periods where the ocean just shuts down. Don’t hold your breath; forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a solid no-go for surfing.
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.
