The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for the La Zenia stretch.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – this 16-day window is a tough one. We’re looking at a real flat spell. There’s no surfable swell on the cards for the first two weeks, all the way from the start through to around the 8th of August. That’s a solid ten-day gap with nothing worth paddling for. The water is sitting at a very warm 82°, which is a couple of degrees above normal for the time of year, so it’s a bit of a shame to have such clean, warm water with no waves to go with it.
We finally see a tiny blip of life on the morning of Sunday the 9th of August. The wind goes glassy, and there’s a tiny 2 ft swell from the east, but the period is a weak 6 seconds and the combined energy is only 41 – that’s weak. The wave comment is still "poor surf conditions," so don’t expect much. The afternoon stays tiny with onshore wind.
The only real standout in this whole forecast, and I mean the *only* one, comes on the 8th of August. Saturday morning we see a small uptick with a 3 ft swell from the east-northeast, a period of 5 seconds, and a combined energy of 33. The wind is a light cross-shore, which is about as good as it gets in this flat spell for a bit of texture. It’s still not great, but it’s the best we’ve got. The swell direction is from the ENE, which is a bit off the optimum E direction for the spot, but it’s the closest thing to a wave we’ll see.
After that, the week of the 10th to the 13th drops back into the doldrums. The swell height barely scrapes 1 ft, the periods are short, and the energy is negligible. The morning of the 12th looks glassy, but with a 1 ft swell, it’s more of a knee-high dribble than a surf.
For a reef break that’s inconsistent, this blank run is pretty normal for the area. It’s a beach-and-reef setup, but with the swell this weak and the wind often onshore or cross-on, it’s looking more like a spot for a kite than a paddle. Keep an eye on the 8th of August, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
