The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks. To be honest, it’s a pretty flat run for us. We’ve got a solid gap of poor surf conditions right from the start, with no real swell to speak of.
The first proper surf I’d even consider pointing you towards is on Monday the 31st of August at La Zenia. It’s a reef set-up, so it needs a bit of direction to light up. We’re looking at a small 2ft east swell with a period of 6 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak (36), and while Monday morning is dead glassy, that’s about the only positive. It’s inconsistent here, so don’t expect much. Water temps are sitting around 82°, which feels very unusual, running much warmer than normal for this time of year.
Through the first week of September, things stay stubbornly small. We get a few pulses of east and north-east swell, but nothing gets above 3ft. The wind is a constant issue, with a lot of cross-onshore and onshore winds messing up the surface. Tuesday the 3rd of September sees the freshest breeze of the period, with 19 mph cross-onshore wind making it lumpy. Not worth a paddle.
The only other day that catches my eye is the very end of the run. On Monday the 7th of September, we see a slight bump to a 3ft north-east swell, with the energy finally climbing a bit to 71. It’s still a short period of 5 seconds and the wind is a light cross-onshore. It’s not a standout, but it’s the best we’ve got in the whole outlook. For a beach-and-reef set-up with that onshore wind and small, weak swell, it’s looking more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
Honestly, there’s nothing here that gets the heart racing. It’s a long, quiet stretch, and the spots here are inconsistent at the best of times. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d keep the board in the car and wait for a better window.

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.
