The Lowdown
Alright folks, let's talk about the next couple of weeks. Straight up, it's a flat start. We've got a long run of poor surf conditions kicking off today and stretching through the first week. Nothing worth paddling for until we get into the second week. The water's real warm at 80°, a couple degrees warmer than usual for this time of year – feels more like a swimming pool.
First sign of life shows up on Saturday the 19th of September. La Zenia (reef) will see some swell from the east at 4ft, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 161, but don't get your hopes up. The wind is a cross-onshore breeze at 12 mph, which will chop it up and keep the quality poor.
Sunday the 20th looks a little cleaner with a morning cross-shore wind, but the swell drops back to 3ft from the ESE. Still rated as poor, energy drops to 64. It's just not happening.
Now, if you're patient, there's one true standout window. Monday morning, the 21st of September. The wind goes glassy – dead calm, off the NE at just 3 mph. That'll give you a clean, smooth surface. We've got a small 2ft swell from the ESE at 5 seconds. The energy is low at 27, but with those glassy conditions on a reef setup like La Zenia, you could snag a few fun, little waves. It's inconsistent, so don't expect much, but for a small-wave board, this is your best bet.
After that, the surf fades into tiny, weak dribble. Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd both have glassy mornings, but the swell is just 1ft to 2ft. Clean but barely breaking. Then a little bump on Thursday the 24th with 3ft from the ESE, but the afternoon wind picks up to a moderate cross-onshore, so it's a morning-only deal.
The final days see another weak pulse on Sunday the 27th with 3ft from the ESE, but the wind is onshore and lumpy – a write-off.
Bottom line: a long, flat stretch with one tiny, glassy window on Monday morning the 21st. For an inconsistent spot, you take what you can get. Keep your eyes peeled, but don't expect much else.

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.
