The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper surf at La Zenia. This is a reef setup that needs a specific angle, and it’s just not lining up for a while.

Right off the bat, there’s a solid stretch of nothing. From now through September 21st, we’re looking at flat, weak, and messy conditions. You’ll see a few small pulses – mornings might have a tiny 0.7ft to 2.6ft bump – but the energy is weak (values mostly under 60), the periods are short and fat, and the winds are mostly cross or onshore, chopping up whatever’s there. There’s a glassy morning on the 11th, but it’s only 1.3ft – not worth paddling out for. The 21st afternoon sees a slightly bigger 4.3ft, but it’s onshore and junky. It’s a long, flat stretch.

The only real window where things get interesting is September 22nd. Tuesday morning is your standout. The swell picks up to 4.9ft from the east, with a period of 6 seconds – not long, but it’s the most energy we’ve seen, with a combined swell energy of 182, which is moderate. The wind is light offshore from the southwest, keeping it clean. This is the best you’re going to get. It’s not perfect, it’s a short-period windswell, but it’s surfable and clean. The afternoon, though, swings around to a cross-onshore southerly at 12 mph and it gets chopped up fast, with the swell bumping to 5.2ft. That afternoon, if you’re not an expert, sit it out – 5.2ft on a reef with that windchop is more work than fun.

Then it fades again. The 23rd drops back down to 2.6ft, and it’s back to flat. Honestly, for the next 16 days, mark Tuesday the 22nd morning on your calendar. That’s the one. For everything else, it’s a waiting game. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

As for the break itself, La Zenia is a reef, exposed to the east. It’s inconsistent, so it doesn’t break often, and this forecast is proof of that. And when it does, with these short periods, it can be a bit sectiony. But with that light offshore wind and the clean face, the 22nd morning is worth a look. Just don’t expect a classic. If the swell gets over 5ft and the wind is up, this setup looks more interesting for the kite crew than us paddle surfers.

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.
