La Boca Con Con Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been keeping a close eye on La Boca Con Con for the next couple of weeks. There’s no action right this second, but from Monday the 10th of August, it starts to wake up and there’s plenty to sink your teeth into.

We kick off Monday morning the 10th with a solid SW groundswell pushing in at 7 ft and a period of 13 seconds. The wind’s light and cross-off from the SSW at 6 mph, so the sets will be clean and well-shaped. The combined swell energy is strong at 1569, and this is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The water temperature is about average for this time of year. Conditions hold into the afternoon too, though the wind picks up a notch. Tuesday morning the 11th drops to a more manageable 5 ft from the SW (11 sec period, 590 energy), still clean with that light cross-off breeze. Afternoon gets a bit smaller and more marginal.

Wednesday the 12th is a real treat – early morning goes glassy, dead calm, with a super long-period WSW groundswell at 1 ft but 19 seconds (energy 282). That long period means lovely clean lines, but it’s tiny. By afternoon we’re up to 3 ft with 18 seconds and glassy conditions again. Thursday morning the 13th is the standout early session: 4 ft from the WSW, 16-second period, glassy off the WNW at 3 mph, and the energy jumps to 813. This is very good surf – clean, punchy, and the kind of morning you don’t want to sleep through. Thursday afternoon gets messy with rain and cross-on wind.

Friday the 14th has another glassy morning with 3 ft WSW 14-second swell (270 energy), but it’s small. Saturday the 15th brings a bump in size to 6 ft from the W (12 sec), but the cross-on breeze from the N keeps it a bit choppy. Combined energy is 922, so there’s power, but the wind is a letdown.

Sunday the 16th cleans up again in the morning with a light cross-off S breeze and 3 ft WSW 13-second swell (502 energy). That’s a fun, clean session for a small-wave board. Monday the 17th is a cracker: clear skies, glassy early with an ESE breeze at just 3 mph, 7 ft SW groundswell with a short 9-second period (882 energy). The short period means it’ll be a bit more walled-up and dumpy, but the clean conditions and decent size make it very good for experienced surfers. The best of the first week is Thursday morning the 13th and Monday the 17th morning.

Now, into the second week, there are some big swells coming but the wind gets tricky. Tuesday the 18th sees 7 ft SW with 15 seconds (2153 energy) but a fresh 19 mph N cross-on turns it lumpy and poor – honestly, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Wednesday the 19th morning is a standout: glassy with a SW wind at 3 mph, 6 ft SW groundswell at 13 seconds, and massive 1838 energy – excellent for experts. Thursday the 20th morning also delivers: clear, light cross-off S breeze, 7 ft WSW 14-second swell (1849 energy), and clean conditions. That’s another top pick.

Friday the 21st morning drops to 5 ft WSW 12 seconds (834 energy) with glassy NW wind – nice clean surf for a solid session. But Friday afternoon and Saturday the 22nd turn ugly with strong N cross-onshore winds and big messy swell up to 10 ft (2731 energy) – definitely not one for paddling. Sunday the 23rd morning offers a redemption: glassy, light SSW wind, 10 ft WSW 12-second groundswell (2568 energy), and excellent for experts only. That’s big, powerful, and clean – a proper big-wave session if you’ve got the skills. The period is moderate, so it’ll hold shape.

Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th fizzle out with poor conditions and dropping swell. Tuesday the 25th morning goes dead calm with just 3 ft SW 11-second swell (257 energy) – surfable but ordinary.

Overall, the best on offer: Thursday the 13th morning for that glassy, clean 4 ft WSW groundswell, and Monday the 17th morning for the solid 7 ft SW in glassy conditions. In the second week, Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th mornings are the standouts for powerful, clean surf. Crowds? La Boca Con Con can get busy sometimes, so keep an eye out. Stay safe out there.
