The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’m looking at the stretch ahead for La Zenia. Straight up, it’s a tough one. For the next week and a bit, there’s really nothing doing. We’re looking at a long, dry spell of tiny, weak surf and onshore winds messing things up.
We start off with barely a ripple until about Wednesday the 19th of August. That morning, we finally see a pulse of swell, around 3 ft from the ESE, and the wind goes glassy. The combined energy is still modest at 63, but the clean conditions are a major positive. This is the standout of the whole forecast, but it’s described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” For this break, that’s about as good as it gets in this 16-day window. Expect it to be inconsistent, as it often is around here. The water is much warmer than normal for the time of year, sitting at 83.3°.
After that little window, it’s back to small, choppy, and mostly poor surf right through to the end of the period. There are no real standouts after the 19th. We see a bit more energy pop up again on Thursday the 20th of August, with the swell building to 3.6 ft from the E and energy hitting 77, but the wind is cross-onshore, chopping it up. The best wave of the forecast is that early Wednesday morning session, even if it’s small. After a long wait, that’s the one to try and get on.
So, to sum it up: a long gap of nothing, a brief, glassy, small window mid-week, and then back to very ordinary conditions. Keep an eye on the forecasts, as these quiet spells can break open.

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.
