The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here, and I’ve got the skinny on La Zenia for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s not looking like a classic run for this spot. The opening stretch is a real flat spell, with next to nothing on offer for the first few days. You’ll be staring at a pretty calm ocean, and the few tiny bumps that show up are barely worth the walk down the beach.
The first bit of real potential doesn’t show its face until Saturday morning. We’ll finally see a bit of life, with a tiny 1 ft bump from the ESE and that lovely early glass. The water temp is reading at 83°F, a full 6°F warmer than average for this time of year – that’s a seriously unusual warm patch, so the boardies will be perfect.
We go through a slow grind for the next stretch. Sunday stays small, but Monday morning brings a cleaner look with a light cross-off breeze and a 2 ft easterly swell. The energy is still weak though, so it’s not going to be firing. It stays like this for a while – a few knee-high sliders and a lot of waiting.
As we push into the second week, things remain grim. The swell direction is all over the shop, and the periods are short, which just adds to the frustration. There’s a promising moment on the morning of the 16th of August – a calm, glassy dawn with a 3 ft NE swell and a bit more energy behind it. That’s the cleanest window we get, and it’s worth a look if you’re desperate for a paddle.
Things pick up slightly towards the end of the run. By the 19th, we’ve got 3 ft swells from the ESE with periods creeping up to 6 seconds, and the energy is starting to build. It’s still not anything to write home about, but the morning of the 20th sees the biggest swell of the period, a 4 ft easterly with the energy jumping significantly. That’s the most push we’ll see, but the wind is onshore, so it won’t be peeling perfection.
Honestly, for a reef break that’s already inconsistent, this is a pretty bleak outlook. The swell is weak, the energy is low, and the winds often work against us. There’s nothing here that’s going to have you calling in sick for work. The most consistent little bump is around that 3 ft mark with a bit of power behind it, but even then, the short period means it’s just mushy. A surfer’s patience is going to be tested over this fortnight.

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.
