The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days at La Zenia are looking pretty grim for paddle surfing. The data shows a long, quiet stretch with barely any energy on offer. For a reef break that needs a specific E swell, we’re just not getting the goods. The first proper bump doesn't even show up until the 19th of September, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about. You’re looking at a full week of flat to tiny, messy conditions before anything happens.
Let’s break it down. From now until the 18th of September, it’s mostly flat or tiny wind chop. The water temperature right now is 79°F, which is 4° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s much warmer than usual, so the water will feel like a bath. But the surf? Forget it. There’s a glassy morning on the 15th, but with a swell of just 0.7ft, you can’t even call it surf. The combined wave energy is barely hitting 1 (weak energy). A few afternoons get choppy with onshore winds, but nothing rideable.
Then, finally, around the 19th of September, we see a little pulse. On Saturday the 19th morning, the swell picks up to 4ft from the E with a 6-second period, and the combined energy climbs to 96 (weak). The wind is cross-shore from the NE at 12 mph, which will chop it up a bit. That’s the best of a bad bunch, but the wave comment still says "poor surf conditions." By Saturday afternoon, the swell hits 4ft from the ESE with a 7-second period and 152 energy (moderate), but the wind swings cross-on from the ENE at 16 mph, making it choppy. This spot is inconsistent and a reef, so it needs the right direction – the optimum is from the E, and we’re getting close, but the quality just isn't there.
After the 19th, it fades again. The 20th of September has a 3ft morning swell, but it’s back to small and messy from the 21st onwards. A few glassy mornings pop up on the 24th, 26th, 27th, and 28th of September, but with swell heights of 1.0ft to 2ft and combined energy under 13 (weak), it’s flat. Honestly, this stretch looks more interesting for a kite surfer on a windy afternoon than for anyone with a paddle board.
There are no standouts here. The only day that might tempt you is the morning of Saturday the 19th of September, with that 4ft E swell and lighter cross-shore wind, but keep expectations low. It’s just not happening at La Zenia for the next two weeks.

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.
