La Boca Con Con Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a solid run of surf ahead, but it’s not all perfect. The first few days have some decent energy, but the winds are a bit of a mixed bag. The standout session is looking like this Saturday afternoon, the 29th of August, with some proper swell hitting La Boca Con Con. The water’s sitting around 56.8°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, no surprises there.

Right, let’s dive in. The first proper surf window kicks off Saturday afternoon, the 29th of August. La Boca Con Con picks up a 5.9ft swell from the WSW, with a 12-second period and a combined energy of 894 (moderate). The wind is a cross-off SSW breeze at 9.3 mph, and we’re looking at clean, glassy conditions. That’s a solid all-rounder for a beginner-friendly spot, though with crowds sometimes, you might have to share a few. The swell direction is a solid match for the break’s preferred W swell.

Moving into Sunday morning, the 30th of August, the swell drops a touch to 5.6ft, but the wind is onshore from the NNW at 6.2 mph, making it a bit of a messy option. The afternoon cleans up a little with a light cross-on breeze, but the waves are still 5.2ft and the period drops to 11 seconds. Not a write-off, but not the pick.

Sunday night and Monday morning, the 31st of August, we get a real treat. The swell backs off to 4.3ft, but the wind goes glassy from the SW at 3.1 mph. That’s a major positive. The period is 12 seconds, and the combined energy is 527 (moderate). That Monday morning session will be clean, smooth, and perfect for a longboard or a fun mid-length. The afternoon is similar, with a cross-off breeze, so you could get a solid two-session day.

Tuesday, the 1st of September, the swell drops to 3.0ft in the morning with a cross-shore breeze, but the afternoon picks up to 4.6ft with a clean cross-off wind. The period is 10 seconds, so it’s a bit short, but still rideable. The energy is 657 (moderate), so there’s a bit of push.

Wednesday, the 2nd of September, is a weird one. The swell is tiny at 2.0ft, but the period jumps to 18 seconds. That’s a very long period groundswell. At a beach break like La Boca Con Con, that long period tends to make the waves break too straight and close out. The energy is 413 (weak), so it’s really not worth paddling out for. The afternoon is similar with 2.3ft.

Thursday, the 3rd of September, brings back some life. Morning sees 3.9ft from the WSW, with a 16-second period and a cross-off SSW breeze at 9.3 mph. The energy is 826 (moderate). That’s a clean, long-period swell, but again, at a beach break, it might be a bit fat. Still, the wind is good, so it’s worth a look. The afternoon holds up with 4.3ft, though the wind picks up to 12.4 mph.

Friday, the 4th of September, is a bit of a mixed bag. Morning has 4.9ft with a 13-second period and clean cross-off wind, but the energy is 999 (moderate), so there’s a bit of grunt. The afternoon gets windy at 15.5 mph, so it’s a bit blown out.

Now, into the second week, things get more interesting. Saturday, the 5th of September, the morning is small and cross-on, but the afternoon goes glassy again with a 2.6ft swell from the SW, 14-second period, and 622 energy (moderate). That’s a clean, fun little wave for the quieter times.

Sunday, the 6th of September, has a 4.3ft swell with an onshore WNW wind, not great. The afternoon is cross-on.

Monday, the 7th of September, the swell picks up to 4.6-4.9ft with a 14-second period, but the wind is cross-on from the WSW. It’s rideable, but not epic.

Tuesday, the 8th of September, is similar, with 4.3ft and cross-on wind.

Wednesday, the 9th of September, is a write-off with onshore winds and poor conditions.

The real standout in the second week is Sunday, the 13th of September. The afternoon session sees a 5.2ft swell from the SW, with a 15-second period and a combined energy of 1345 (strong). That’s a proper groundswell. The wind is cross-on from the N at 9.3 mph, which is a bit of a shame, but the energy is undeniable. It will
