La Boca Con Con Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, and we’ve got a solid run of surf ahead at La Boca Con Con (Chile). The pattern is a classic winter pulse: a good-sized SW groundswell arrives this weekend, then settles into a long, clean run of waist-to-head-high waves through the middle of the week and beyond. The water’s sitting about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

The action kicks off Saturday the 8th with a solid 10ft SW swell, but the wind is a cross-offshore breeze around 9 to 19 mph, and the conditions are labelled marginal. The energy is pumping (3678), but it’s a bit raw and bumpy—more for the experienced crew. By Sunday morning the 9th, the swell drops to 8ft from the SW, wind stays cross-off at 9 mph, and the energy is still strong (3003). This is where it gets good for confident surfers, with clean, powerful lines. The 8ft size is pushing into expert territory, so beginners should sit this one out.

The standout stretch starts Monday the 10th. The swell drops to a more manageable 7ft from the SW, with a light 3 mph cross-off breeze and a 13-second period. The energy is moderate (1569), and the conditions are clean. This is the pick of the first week—consistent, well-shaped, and not too crowded yet. Tuesday the 11th sees the swell ease to 4ft, still SW, with light winds, and the waves stay clean and fun.

A real treat comes Wednesday the 12th: a tiny 1ft swell but with a very long 19-second period, glassy as glass, and the energy is weak (328). It’s a rare, glassy morning that’ll offer smooth, lined-up sets for the patient soul. Excellent for a log or a mid-length. Thursday the 13th builds back to 4ft from the WSW, with a 16-second period and glassy conditions again in the afternoon—just beautiful.

Moving into the second week, the consistency holds. Saturday the 15th offers 3ft to 4ft SW swells with clean conditions, and Sunday the 16th morning is glassy with 4ft WSW swell (856 energy)—a great, relaxed session. But the true highlight of the entire outlook is Tuesday the 18th. We’ve got 6ft SW swell, a 14-second period, and glassy conditions in the morning, with the energy reading 1349. The afternoon holds 6ft with a clean cross-off breeze and even more energy (2199). This is described as excellent for experienced surfers—big, clean, powerful, and well-shaped. The break is very consistent, and crowds are only sometimes an issue, so you might have a few friends out, but not a zoo.

The last decent window is Thursday the 20th: 7ft WSW swell in the morning (1398 energy), clean with a slight breeze. That’s again expert territory. The run fades by the 22nd, with small, weak surf and poor conditions, but the 23rd shows a little pulse of 3ft SSE swell with clean offshore winds.

Overall, the best on offer is the morning of Tuesday the 18th—that’s the one to circle for a proper session. Monday the 10th is a close second for a cleaner, slightly smaller option. The energy is moderate to strong throughout, and the long-period swells (12-19 seconds) mean the waves will have good shape and power, best handled at this point break setup.

Rusty.
