The Lowdown
Right, grab a seat. Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the La Zenia region. Straight up, I'll tell you, it's a bit of a slow burner. The entire 16-day window is littered with days where the ocean just isn't giving us much to work with. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak conditions, and the only real whispers of something happening are right at the very end.
The first real chance to even think about paddling out comes on the morning of the 19th of August. That's a solid week and a half away. Up until then, it's mostly flat, choppy, or just plain messy with tiny waves. The water temperature is sitting at a very warm 83°, which is a massive 6° warmer than usual for this time of year. That's seriously unusual, so you'll be surfing in a bath.
Now, La Zenia itself is a reef break that's rated for advanced crew. It's inconsistent, so it needs the right conditions to fire. The best direction for it is a clean easterly swell. Looking at the 19th, the swell starts to show up. Wednesday morning we see a 3ft swell from the ENE with a period of 5 seconds, giving a combined energy of (48). That's still weak energy, but it's something. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the ENE, which isn't perfect, but it’s not a total write-off. By Wednesday afternoon, the swell bumps up to 4ft from the ENE, still with a 5-second period, and the energy climbs to (75). The wind shifts to a direct onshore, which will mess up the face. It's not going to be world-class, but it's the only window of size we get.
The morning of the 20th of August cleans up a bit. The swell drops to 3ft from the ESE, with a 6-second period, energy at (46), and the wind goes glassy. That might be the best on offer for the whole forecast – a cleaner, glassy morning with a little waist-high wave. It's not a standout by any stretch, but it's the pick of a very thin bunch.
The morning of the 21st of August is glassy again, but the swell is back down to a tiny 1ft. So, if you're itching for a paddle, the 20th morning is your best bet. Honestly, with the weak energy and the small, short-period swell, it's more of a longboard or a funboard session. For the advanced crew this spot is meant for, it's going to be a frustrating wait. The constant onshore and cross-onshore winds throughout most of the rest of the period will keep the surface bumpy. There's nothing here for the beginners, and the experts will be waiting on that glassy 20th morning.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
