The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk surf for this part of the coast.
Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next 16 days are a bit of a flat spell for La Zenia. This is a reef setup that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and right now the swell just isn’t showing up. There’s a long stretch from the start of the period right through to the end with nothing worth paddling out for. The wave energy is tiny, often in the single digits or low tens (values like 4, 6, 25, 31), and the swell heights barely reach 2 ft. The period is short, mostly 4 to 6 seconds, so there’s no real push. Water temperature is a notable 83 °F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 6 °F above average.
The first few days are a washout: Saturday 1 August morning is glassy but with only 1 ft of east swell, and the energy is just 4 (weak). Sunday and Monday offer similar tiny, weak surf. The best of a bad bunch might be Monday 3 August morning, with a glassy 2 ft south swell, but that’s poor quality and only 25 energy. Nothing here is a standout. The afternoon winds turn onshore or cross-onshore, chopping it up further.
Midweek, from Wednesday 5 August, the swell drops to zero for a couple of days – just flat, clean mornings but no waves. This dry spell stretches on. By Thursday 13 August morning, there’s a tiny 0.7 ft glassy bump, but it’s not enough. The most hopeful moment falls on Sunday 16 August morning: a glassy 2 ft east-southeast swell with a period of 5 seconds and energy of 30 (still weak). That’s the biggest swell of the whole run, but it’s still small, and the short period means weak, lumpy waves. For a reef that needs proper swell direction (optimum is east), this is barely a ripple.
Honestly, for paddle surfing, this is not the time. If you’re into kite surfing, those afternoon cross-onshore winds and the small, choppy conditions might be more your thing, especially from Tuesday 11 August onwards when the wind picks up to 16 mph from the east-northeast. But for a surfer? I’d wait for a better forecast.
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.
