The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the local outlook.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – there's next to nothing on offer here for the first two weeks. The ocean's basically flat or just dribbling little windswell. From Monday the 31st of August all the way through to Monday the 14th of September, the wave energy is consistently pathetic, with the combined energy barely scratching double digits and a long, empty stretch of days where you wouldn't even bother getting changed. The swell is tiny, often under 1.6 feet, and what little bump there is comes from the east with a short, gutless period around 4 to 5 seconds. The wind does go glassy a few mornings, but with zero swell, it’s just a flat, clean lake.
The first real glimmer of hope, and honestly the only thing worth circling on the calendar, is Tuesday morning, the 15th of September. Even then, it’s not a classic. The morning brings a 2.3 foot swell from the ESE with a period of 6 seconds, but the combined energy finally gets to 34. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The wind is a light cross-shore from the NNE at just 3 mph, keeping things pretty clean. It’s barely surfable and the conditions are very ordinary, but after two weeks of nothing, that’s the best we’ve got. It’s too small and weak to get excited about, but if you’re desperate, that’s your window.
Honestly, mate, this is a bleak run. For the area, a total blank like this happens, so don't get too down. Forecasts can 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.
