Zenith Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s see what’s cookin’ for the next couple weeks. Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet picture with just a couple windows that are worth getting excited about.

Your best bet is Sunday morning, August 23rd at Zenith Beach. We’re talking a 3ft south swell, a solid 11-second period – that’s real groundswell energy. Wind is dead glassy, so the water will be like a mirror. The combined energy of all swells here is 283, which is a moderate amount of juice. It’s a beginner-friendly spot and it’s very consistent, so you’ll find waves. The south swell isn’t the ideal direction, but with glassy conditions and that period, it’s the standout session of the whole run.

After that, the wind gets messy and onshore for most of the week. Thursday morning, August 27th has a bigger 6ft south swell, also with an 11-second period, and the combined energy hits 879 – that’s a strong pulse. But it’s a cross-off wind and the call is marginal, so it’s more for the locals who know the break.

Friday morning, August 28th looks fun again: 4ft south swell, 9-second period, and a clean offshore wind from the WNW. The combined energy is 353, moderate. Good, clean waves for a solid session.

Then we hit a dry spell. End of August and start of September is mostly onshore and lumpy. Your next real window is Thursday morning, September 3rd. Another glassy morning, this time with a 5ft south swell, but the period is shorter at 8 seconds. The wind is glass, so it’ll be clean, but the waves will be a bit weaker. The combined energy is 395 – still moderate.

Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.

So, Sunday the 23rd morning is the one to plan around. Friday the 28th morning is the solid backup. The early September glassy window is a maybe, but worth keeping an eye on.
