The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for our little corner of the coast.
Honestly, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty bleak for a proper paddle. Out of all the windows, there’s really nothing that jumps out as a good session. The first patch of any real swell energy doesn’t show up until the very end of the run, and even then, it’s small and short period. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, weak conditions ahead.
La Zenia (reef) – The only spot in the frame, and it’s a spot that’s `inconsistent` at the best of times. The first real pulse of energy is on Thursday, August 14th. The morning starts out glassy with a tiny 2ft easterly swell, but the period is a weak 5 seconds. The combined energy is a paltry 12, so we’re talking about dribbly, weak waves. The afternoon sees a little bump to 2ft from the east, with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy creeps up to 35. Still, that’s tiny. The wind is straight onshore at 9 mph in the afternoon, so it’ll be a bumpy mess. The morning of the 14th is the best of a very bad bunch, with glassy conditions, but you’re scraping for knee-high dribblers.
Nothing else in the whole 16 days scores a recommendation. The first week is full of flat days and tiny, poor surf. The second week looks the same, with a few sporadic 1ft scraps for the dedicated, but nothing worth writing home about.
For an advanced, inconsistent reef like La Zenia, this is a total shutout. The water temperature is sitting at around 82°F on July 30th, which is 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year – very unusual, like bathwater. But with no swell, it doesn’t much matter.
If you’re desperate, you might get one or two weak, clean-ish waves on the morning of the 14th, but don’t hold your breath. This is a stretch where the forecast can only get better.
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.
