The Lowdown
Alright, let me level with you. It’s been a rough stretch here at La Zenia. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off. We’re looking at a long, quiet spell where the ocean just isn’t giving us much to work with. From the start on Sunday the 9th of August, right through to the morning of Wednesday the 20th of August, it’s all tiny, weak, or blown-out slop. Not a single one of those days is worth paddling out for. That’s nearly two weeks of flat to poor conditions.
Now, we do get a tiny flicker of hope right at the tail end. On the morning of Thursday the 20th of August, things finally look a little less dead. The swell picks up to about 3ft from the east with a period of 6 seconds. The combined swell energy climbs to a moderate 109, which is the first real pulse we’ve seen in ages. The wind is glassy, which is a huge plus for clean conditions. But even then, the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – it’s not going to be epic, just a chance to get wet without it being a total battle. Still, for this break, which is an advanced, inconsistent reef that’s often crowded, even this little pulse might get a few locals out.
Then there’s a final note for Monday the 24th of August in the morning: a clean 4ft east swell with moderate offshore wind from the northwest, and energy up to 116. It’s a similar story – ordinary but surfable. But given how far out it is, take that with a grain of salt.
Bottom line: for the next two weeks, La Zenia is basically a ghost town for surf. If you’re desperate, keep an eye on the morning of the 20th, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
