La Boca Con Con Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down La Boca Con Con for the next couple of weeks.

The overall picture is mixed, with a couple of decent windows that'll get a few heads out, especially if you pick the right time.

Wednesday August 12th kicks things off small. We're looking at 1 to 3 ft waves from the WSW with a super-long 18-19 second period. The morning and afternoon are both glassy with light winds. Water temp is about 57°, which is normal for this time of year (about 2° warmer than usual, nothing crazy). Combined energy is weak to moderate (281, then 479). Clean but tiny.

Thursday August 13th sees a bump to 4 ft in the morning and 4 ft in the afternoon, but onshore winds from the NW and NNW mess it up. The period drops to 15-16 seconds, but the energy picks up (805 then 572) – moderate, punchy swell. Not worth it with the wind.

Friday August 14th starts cloudy and cross-onshore with 3 ft waves. Skip it. But Friday afternoon is a winner – the wind goes glassy, and we get a clean 5 ft pulse from the WNW with a shorter 9-second period. Combined energy of 561 (moderate). That’s a fun, clean little wave for a sunset paddle.

Saturday August 15th is a mess in the morning with rain and messy winds. The afternoon sees only 3 ft with a cross-shore wind. Not your day.

Sunday August 16th has a solid morning window: 3 ft from the WSW, 14-second period, and clean cross-off winds from the south. Combined energy of 410. That’s workable. The afternoon gets blown out by strong SSW winds, so be there early.

Monday August 17th starts a better run. The morning brings 5 ft from the SW, but only an 8-second period. The energy is moderate (650), with clean light winds. The afternoon jumps to 6 ft from the SW, still short period (8 seconds), with a light cross-onshore wind. It’s rideable for the size, but that short period makes it a bit wonky.

Now, Wednesday August 19th is the standout. The morning session is a gem: 6 ft from the WSW with a long 16-second period, giving a combined energy of 1555 – that’s strong. The wind is glassy. This is a proper groundswell with excellent shape and clean conditions. At 6 ft and that long period, it’s a bit much for beginners, and it might break a bit straight at a beach break. For experienced surfers, it’s the one to circle.

Thursday August 20th and Friday August 21st continue the swell, with 5 ft to 7 ft from the SW and WSW, with period dropping from 13 to 9 seconds. Winds are mostly clean and cross-off, so there’ll be waves, but the quality isn’t as high as Wednesday morning. By Friday afternoon we're at 7 ft, which is expert territory.

The following weekend (August 22-23) drops off hard: 4 ft to 5 ft with poor to ordinary conditions and onshore winds. Stay home.

Monday August 24th to Wednesday August 26th stays small (2 ft to 3 ft) and fairly poor, though Tuesday August 25th morning has glassy conditions on 2 ft from the SW with an 11-second period – tiny but clean for a longboard.

The final day, Thursday August 27th, offers a glassy afternoon with 3 ft from the WSW and a 14-second period. Combined energy is weak (367), but a clean little wave to end the run.

Overall, the best bet is Wednesday August 19th morning – that 6 ft, glassy, long-period groundswell is the clear highlight. Second best is Friday August 14th afternoon for a glassy, fun-size wave.

Rusty out.
