The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer for La Zenia over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a tough stretch. The forecast is showing a long, dry spell with no real surf to speak of for the first several days. From now until at least the 24th of July, the swell is either non-existent or tiny, and the wind is often messy. That’s a solid week of flat or near-flat conditions. Don’t bother getting the wetsuit wet just yet.
The first glimmer of anything rideable shows up around Friday, July 24th. The morning brings a tiny pulse of swell from the NE at 3 ft, with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is weak (32). The wind is a light cross-shore from the NE, so it’ll be a bit bumpy, but you might find a knee-high wave if you’re really desperate. It’s not worth getting excited about.
Things don’t get much better. We see a few more pulses over the following days, but the swell direction swings around to the E and ENE, and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, chopping things up. The water is a balmy 81°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be cold while you’re waiting.
The best of a pretty average bunch looks like it might be Tuesday morning, July 29th. The morning has a glassy, risk of thunderstorms, with a 3 ft swell from the East at 6 seconds. The combined energy is still low (39). It’s a reef break, so on a glassy morning, you could get a couple of little clean ones. But it’s inconsistent, and the swell is weak.
Honestly, the standout here is a bit of a stretch. If you’re absolutely desperate to get wet, Tuesday morning, July 29th, at La Zenia is your best bet. It’s a small, glassy morning with a little east swell. It’s inconsistent and the waves will be tiny, but it’s the only time the conditions look okay. Don’t expect much.
The rest of the period into early August stays small and choppy. It’s a tough outlook. There’s just no real energy in the water.
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.
