La Boca Con Con Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking for La Boca Con Con over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a solid run of surf lined up with only a few quiet days, so this is a promising stretch for the area.

Right now, Sunday the 16th is kicking off with a modest 3 ft swell from the WSW at a clean 14-second period. Water temp’s sitting at 57°, which is about average for this time of year. The morning session is the go with that light cross-off breeze keeping things tidy. The combined wave energy is moderate (498). The afternoon gets windier, so it’ll drop off.

Monday the 17th holds a similar 3 ft with the same long-period groundswell; morning is your pick with a light cross-off. The afternoon swings offshore with a WNW breeze, but the surf quality drops right off then – not worth it.

Tuesday the 18th is where it starts to build. We’re seeing 5 ft in the morning climbing to 6 ft by the afternoon, both from the SW around 12 seconds. Wave energy jumps to a strong 932-1274 range, and the wind is a clean cross-off. This is a proper fun day with good shape on offer.

Wednesday the 19th sees the swell peak at 6 ft but the wind turns cross-on, so the surface gets a bit bumpy. Still, there’s some power there. The swell period hits a very long 15 seconds (1578 energy), so stronger paddling and longer waits between sets. This will be for the more experienced crew.

Thursday the 20th morning cleans up beautifully: 6 ft, cross-off, light wind. Really good waves there. The afternoon gets a bit messier with a moderate breeze, but still surfable.

Friday the 21st is a standout morning: 3 ft but with 14-second period and that sweet cross-off wind. Quality over quantity. The afternoon, however, jumps to 8 ft with that same SW swell. That’s expert territory and it gets windy, so the morning is the smarter call for most.

Saturday the 22nd keeps the 6 ft coming with clean morning conditions. The afternoon turns glassy with 6 ft – that is a rare treat, clean and lined-up waves. Mark that one down.

Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th are a bit of a write-off as the swell drops and the wind goes all wrong. A few small wind-affected waves but nothing you’d bother with.

From Tuesday the 25th through Wednesday the 26th, we’re in small-wave territory, 2 ft to 3 ft, but Wednesday morning turns glassy – maybe a fun little log if you’re keen, but not a serious session.

Thursday the 27th bumps back up to 4-5 ft but with onshore wind. Not good for paddle surfing – this setup actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Now for the real highlight at the end of this run: Sunday the 30th morning is firing. 6 ft, WSW, 11-second period, light cross-off, and 1608 energy – that’s excellent. Monday the 31st is the absolute best of the lot. Morning brings 7 ft with a 13-second period and an offshore SSE wind. 1594 energy, clean as a whistle. The afternoon glassed off at 7 ft and 2792 energy – that’s powerful, long-period groundswell with glassy conditions. That is for the experienced only, but it’s the top pick of the entire outlook by a long shot.

La Boca Con Con can get crowded – it’s very consistent and reasonably exposed, so expect company on the good days. For beginners, keep to the smaller days under 5 ft like the 16th, 17th, or that small Wednesday the 26th.

So to sum it up: the best of the bunch is Monday the 31st – morning and afternoon are both gold if you know what you’re doing. Second best is the glassy Saturday the 22nd afternoon. Get on it.

Rusty.
