The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim stretch for La Zenia. We’re looking at a long, dry spell of flat, rubbish conditions that’ll test your patience. For the first week, from Sunday 19th July right through to Friday 31st July, there’s barely a ripple worth paddling for. The wave energy is pitiful, with combined energy values sitting at just 1 to 45 (very weak to weak). It’s all short-period wind slop, mostly under 6 seconds, blown out by onshore or cross-shore breezes. You’ll see a lot of “poor surf conditions” in the data, and that’s exactly what it is: small, choppy, and messy. There’s a few glassy mornings, like Tuesday 21st July, but with zero swell, it’s just a flat, pretty lake.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no concerns there, but it’s not gonna help you catch a wave.
The only flicker of life comes on Saturday 25th July. The morning shows a glassy, clean surface with a 3 ft swell from the ESE, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy hits 66 – still weak, but it’s the best we’ve got. Because it’s a reef break, and the swell is small, it’ll be a bit fat and slow. The optimum swell direction here is from the East, and this ESE swell is close enough to work. The crowds are listed as “often,” so you can expect company. Don’t get too excited; it’s knee-high at best, but it’s the only window where you could possibly get a slide.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The pattern continues with tiny, inconsistent waves and poor winds right through to Monday 3rd August. The combined energy struggles to crack 70, and the period never gets above 6 seconds. For a spot that’s inconsistent anyway, this blank run is more normal for the area. Keep an eye on the forecasts, though – it tends not to stay this poor for long.
So, if you’re desperate, be on the water at La Zenia for the morning of Saturday 25th July. Otherwise, save your energy.
Rusty.

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.
