The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’re looking at a 16-day run for Zeneta, and honestly, the first week is a bit of a write-off. The swell is small and wonky, and the wind is never really on our side. There’s a big gap from the start until the 22nd of August where the surf is just not worth paddling out for. After that, we get a pulse of energy, but it’s still messy.
The first real chance to wet a line is Saturday morning, the 22nd of August. The swell bumps up to a solid 5ft from the NW, with a combined energy of 309 (moderate). The problem is the wind is onshore from the NNW, so it’s not going to be clean. It’s a marginal call at best.
Sunday the 23rd looks similar in the morning – 4ft NW swell, but the wind is cross-onshore from the NNE. It’s still light, so you might find a couple of fun ones if you’re desperate, but the energy is dropping (223). By the afternoon, the wind picks up and it gets choppy.
The pattern stays pretty average right through the next week. The swell sticks around 4ft to 5ft, but the wind is either cross-onshore or onshore, making it bumpy. The 27th of August sees the swell jump to 5ft from the NW, but the cross-on wind from the NNE keeps the quality poor. The combined energy hits 417 (moderate), but it’s wasted.
Now, the real standout happens on the 1st of September, Tuesday morning. We’ve got a solid 6ft groundswell from the NNW, with a period of 13 seconds. That’s proper energy. The combined energy is a strong 900. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the NNE, which is manageable. This is the best looking window of the whole run. The long period means the sets will be well-spaced, and the waves will have some punch. It’s still a bit rusty for the direction, but it’s the closest we get to clean.
The 2nd of September, Wednesday morning, is also a contender. It’s 6ft from the NNW with a 12-second period, and the wind is very light from the N – almost glassy. The combined energy is a strong 1041. This is a high-quality swell, but the wind is a touch cross-onshore. It’s still the best of the bunch.
Water temperature is about average for the time of year. Nothing unusual to report there.
In the end, if you’ve got the patience, the 1st and 2nd of September are your best bets. The swell is solid, the energy is high, and the wind is light. It’s a long-range call, so don’t book the day off work just yet, but it’s the one to keep an eye on.
Rusty.

Information about the Zeneta Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Zeneta provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Zeneta can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Zeneta 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 (Zeneta) 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 Zeneta 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.
