La Boca Con Con Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of surf lining up at La Boca Con Con, starting this Friday afternoon. The water’s sitting at 55°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year—so you’ll want a good wetsuit, but nothing crazy. The first few days are cleaner than they look, though the Friday kick-off is a bit average with light cross-on wind and small 3ft SW swell.

Saturday morning stays messy with onshore wind and a weakish 3ft swell, but by Saturday afternoon the wind shifts cross-off and the swell bumps up to 5ft from the SW with a period of 18 seconds—that’s long-period groundswell, so expect proper shape but long lulls between sets. Combined energy hits 1420 (moderate to strong), and it’s starting to look worth a paddle.

Sunday 5 July is the first standout. Morning brings offshore SE breeze at 3 mph, clean 7ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and combined energy of 2095—strong and powerful. This is excellent for experienced surfers; beginners should sit it out because 7ft+ with that period is punchy. The afternoon stays clean with cross-off wind, still 7ft and strong energy (2155). This is your best window early on.

Monday morning 6 July keeps the quality: SE offshore at 3 mph, 6ft SW swell, 15-second period, 1336 energy. Excellent for experienced crew. Monday afternoon drops a bit to 5ft but stays clean and very good.

Then from Tuesday 7 July through to the end of the week, conditions turn glassy or near-glassy with light winds, SW swells between 4ft and 6ft, and periods from 12 to 15 seconds. Wednesday afternoon 8 July stands out: 5ft SW swell, glassy conditions, 1772 energy—very clean and fun for a bigger range of surfers. Thursday 9 July also brings glassy 6ft W swell with 1450 energy, excellent for those with some experience.

Now, the second week’s highlight—and the real standout of the whole outlook—is Saturday 11 July. Morning shows a solid 10ft WSW swell, 15-second period, and combined energy of 3987—that’s very strong. Clean cross-off wind from the SSW at 6 mph. This is for experts only; that size with that power is serious. The afternoon stays big at 10ft but gets a bit more wind, so the morning is the pick.

Sunday 12 July morning is still excellent: 8ft SW swell, glassy conditions, 1784 energy—still for experienced surfers, but a touch more manageable than Saturday.

From Monday 14 July onward the swell fades to 3ft to 5ft, with mixed wind and some glassy windows. Wednesday 15 July afternoon sees glassy 4ft SW swell, and Saturday 18 July afternoon brings glassy 4ft SW swell with 13-second period and 1009 energy—worth a look if you’re keen for a smaller, clean session.

Overall, Sunday 5 July morning and Saturday 11 July morning are your two best calls. Crowds can show up sometimes, so get in early. No gaps with no surf—it’s pretty consistent across the whole 16 days.
