Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this forecast for La Zenia is a tough one. We’re looking at a solid stretch of almost nothing surfable, and it’s going to be a long wait. The water is sitting at a very unusual 79°, a full 6° warmer than normal for this time of year, which is pretty wild, but it doesn't help when there’s no push.
The first real chance you’ll have to even think about a paddle is on Saturday morning, July 12th. There's some weak, short-period easterly swell around 3ft, and with glassy conditions from a southerly, it’ll be clean. The energy is weak, only 62, so don't expect much. The official word is "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." That’s about as generous as it gets. It’s an inconsistent reef break at La Zenia, and it’s going to be small.
Then we’re back to the waiting game. From Sunday, July 13th onwards, it’s all poor surf and not worth your time. There's a long gap with no real recommendations until the very end of the run. Saturday, July 19th morning might show a little 0.7ft bump with glassy winds, but again, that’s barely a ripple.
Honestly, for the next 16 days, there is no standout session. There is one morning, July 12th, that gets a score of 1 out of 10. That's the best we’ve got, and it’s still not good. This stretch looks more like a time to wax the longboard just in case a little knee-high glass comes in, or maybe just take a holiday from surfing. Don’t hold your breath.
Stay patient, and remember - forecasts change.

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.
