The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look for you. Let's cut to the chase: it's gonna be a quiet one for a good long while.
The honest truth is we're looking at a drought. From today straight through to the 17th of September, don't even bother waxing up. The swell is flat, barely a ripple with waves under 2 feet and short, weak periods. We get a few glassy mornings, like on Tuesday the 8th, but with nothing to push you along, it's just a flat, warm lake. The water temp is 80°, which is 4° warmer than it should be this time of year – feels like a bathtub, just without the waves.
You're gonna have to be patient. The first real chance comes on the morning of Friday, the 18th of September, at La Zenia. We finally see a clean little swell, about 3 feet from the ESE, with a period of 6 seconds. The energy is still weak, but it's the most we've seen. The wind is key here: a light cross-offshore breeze will clean the surface right up. The reports say "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," so don't expect perfection, but it's the only time in this whole run you might get a fun little session with clean faces.
After that brief window, it gets messy. Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th bring a bit more size, around 4 to 5 feet from the ENE, with moderate energy. But the wind turns onshore and fresh, making everything lumpy and choppy. On a reef break like La Zenia, that's a recipe for a fight, not a good time. Monday the 21st morning might clean up a little with a cross-offshore wind and a 4-foot swell, but there's a risk of thunderstorms, so you gotta watch the skies.
To be straight with you, the only real standout in that whole 16-day window is the morning of Friday the 18th. Everything else is a miss. Save the gas and enjoy the warm beach.
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.
