The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good hard look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a quiet stretch ahead. For the next week and a half, the swell is tiny and the conditions are mostly messy. We’ve got a long, flat spell with waves barely pushing 1 ft and those are riddled with onshore or cross-shore breezes. Thursday the 13th through to Sunday the 23rd of August is pretty much a write-off for any decent wave riding. There’s a lot of days with nothing worth paddling out for, so you’re better off waiting it out.
Now, after that long dry period, there’s a glimmer of something on Sunday the 23rd of August. That morning at La Zenia, we see a pulse of fresh energy. The swell jumps to 4 ft off the ESE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 196 – that’s moderate energy and the most we’ve seen in the whole outlook. The wind goes glassy, absolutely flat calm, so the surface will be clean as a whistle. This is the standout. That southeast groundswell is decent, the water’s much warmer than normal at 84°, and with no wind, it’ll be a beautiful morning. Keep in mind it’s an advanced reef break that’s inconsistent, so it’s not for learners, and it can get crowded often. This is a one-morning window, because by the afternoon the wind swings onshore and spoils it.
After that, the surf fades right back to nearly nothing and stays poor through to the end of the outlook on the 28th. There’s nothing else that shapes up as a real goer.
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.
