The Lowdown
Alright, the surf outlook for the next stretch is looking pretty bleak, to be honest. It’s one of those classic summer flat spells where you’re better off finding something else to do than staring at a lake. From now through the next week and a half, we aren't seeing any proper swell hitting the coast. There are going to be some long gaps of a day or more where there is absolutely nothing to ride.
The only break showing on the radar is La Zenia. This exposed reef in the north-west facing part of the area is a tricky one. It's an expert-only wave and, with it being so inconsistent, it rarely lines up. We are looking at a full 16-day period with no real recommendations, all scored as poor surf conditions. The wave energy is going to be weak, with the combined swell energy most days only registering single digits, and the biggest days barely pushing 37 (moderate) – it's just a whole lot of nothing.
The water here is running pretty standard for the time of year, so no big surprises there. There will be some clean, glassy mornings, but there just won't be any swell to push through. The wind will switch around from light offshore breezes to some heavier afternoon cross-onshore stuff, but it won't matter much with no waves to mess up.
Honestly, for the next couple of weeks, the lineup looks more like a parking lot than a surf spot. There is a tiny blip of energy from the east-southeast around the 16th, but it’s still small and poor. It’s a blank run, which isn't unusual for this zone this time of year. Keep your board in the car, but don’t get your hopes up. Forecasts can change, but you'd need a miracle for this to turn on.
Stay patient.

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.
