La Boca Con Con Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for our little corner of the coast.

We’ve got a solid run of surf coming, but it’s a real mixed bag of conditions. The first few days will be choppy and blown out, so you’ll want to be patient. The real standout windows are a week away, so circle those dates.

The main event is La Boca Con Con. It’s a beginner-friendly, very consistent break that’s fairly exposed to the swell. Right now, the water is sitting at 54°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year. The optimum swell direction is from the West, and we’ll see that line up nicely later on.

Wednesday, July 15th is a decent start. Morning brings a 5ft SW swell with a solid 11-second period, and a clean cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is moderate (817). It’s a good, clean session to ease into the week. The afternoon gets even better with glassy conditions and a 4ft WNW swell.

Thursday, July 16th is a write-off. A strong 25 mph northerly wind will destroy the 8ft to 10ft swell. It’s messy and dangerous – give it a miss.

Friday, July 17th is also not great. Heavy rain and a strong cross-shore wind will make the 10ft swell ugly and lumpy.

Saturday, July 18th and Sunday, July 19th see the swell drop right back to 4ft. The wind is lighter, but it’s still mostly cross or cross-on. There’s a small window Saturday morning with an offshore wind, but the conditions are marginal at best.

Monday, July 20th and Tuesday, July 21st are a frustrating mix. The swell jumps back up to 10ft, but the wind is howling on Monday. Tuesday morning is still lumpy, but the afternoon turns a corner. Finally, a clean, cross-offshore breeze works with a 10ft NW swell (combined energy 1575). That’s our first real hint of quality.

Wednesday, July 22nd brings a massive 12ft W swell with a long 12-second period. The wind is horrible in the morning, but the afternoon could be good if you’re an expert. This is a big, powerful groundswell.

Thursday, July 23rd is the first true standout. Get ready. The morning is glassy with a 10ft WSW groundswell (period 12 seconds, combined energy 2581). The conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is a big, clean, powerful day. The afternoon remains good with a 8ft swell and light wind.

Friday, July 24th is another absolute cracker. Both morning and afternoon sessions are excellent. A 6ft to 8ft SW groundswell (period 12 seconds) with a clean cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is strong (1372 to 1614). This is your best bet for a long, clean session.

Saturday, July 25th is glassy again in the morning with a 5ft SW swell. Another great, clean day for the weekend.

Sunday, July 26th sees the swell drop right off to 2ft, but the period is a very long 18 seconds. It’s clean, but small.

Monday, July 27th brings a glassy start with a 4ft WNW swell, and the forecast looks promising through to the end of the month. Tuesday, July 28th afternoon cleans up nicely, and Wednesday, July 29th is glassy all day. The final standout of the run is Thursday, July 30th, with a clean 6ft W swell and light offshore winds.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a battle. The real gold is on Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th of July. Mark those days. The surf will be big, clean, and powerful. For the rest of the time, pick your windows carefully.

Rusty.
