The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the table for La Zenia over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the surf forecast for this stretch is looking pretty bleak. We’re staring down a long, quiet run with hardly anything worth paddling out for. The outlook kicks off with a Tuesday morning that’s glassy but offers a tiny 0.7ft easterly swell with weak energy (2) and that sets the tone for the days ahead. The water’s sitting at 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 5° above average – so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.
The entire first week, from Tuesday 25 August through to at least Sunday 30 August, is a write-off. We’re talking days of poor surf conditions – thin swells under 3ft, short periods mostly below 7 seconds, and a mix of cross-on or onshore winds that chop everything up. Even the clean mornings (like Thursday 27 August and Friday 28 August) have almost no energy behind them. The only real bump shows up on the afternoon of Friday 4 September, where we see a 5ft northeasterly swell with moderate wave energy (123), but the wind is cross-on from the ENE, so that’s a messy prospect. That swell direction (NE) doesn’t align well with the optimum east direction for the reef either.
Beyond that, the second week doesn’t deliver much either. There’s a glimmer on Saturday 5 September morning with a glassy, WSW wind and a 3ft easterly swell (energy 49), but it’s a one-off. Otherwise, it’s more of the same: small weak swells and unfriendly winds.
La Zenia is an exposed reef break that is well set up for an east swell, but it’s inconsistent – it rarely gets going. And right now, it just doesn’t have anything to work with. Because there’s so little on offer, I wouldn’t even recommend a specific standout session. If you’re desperate for a splash, that Saturday 5 September morning is the least bad option, but it’s nothing to get excited about.
This is one of those stretches where the ocean is just taking a nap. It won’t stay poor forever – forecasts shift – but for now, leave the board in the car.
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.
