La Boca Con Con Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about what’s coming in feet and degrees. The window opens up on Friday, July 31st, but don’t get too excited yet. It’s a slow start before the goods roll in.

First up, La Boca Con Con. Friday afternoon is a bust with rain showers and a cross-shore breeze, wave height around 5ft from the WNW. The energy is there (805), but it’s choppy and messy. Not worth the paddle.

Now, Saturday morning, August 1st, is where it turns on. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, with a 4ft swell from the SW. The period is a solid 13 seconds, so you’ve got real groundswell lines. The combined energy is moderate (683), but the conditions will be clean as a mirror. A great morning for the beginner to intermediate crew.

The real standout, though, is Sunday, August 2nd. This is the best on offer. We’re looking at 8ft of swell from the West on Sunday morning, with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is strong at 1629. The wind is glassy, dead calm. This is excellent surf, but it’s pushing into expert territory at that size. If you’re experienced, get after it. Sunday afternoon holds the same quality with an 8ft swell from the WSW, period 12 seconds, and a massive 1770 energy. Still glassy with a slight air. This is a proper session.

Monday, August 3rd keeps the good vibes. 7ft from the WSW in the morning, period 11 seconds, with a light SSW breeze keeping it clean. Energy is still strong at 971. The afternoon goes glassy again with a 6ft swell. Solid.

Tuesday, August 4th is clean with cross-offshore winds, swell hanging around 6ft to 6ft, and energy still in the strong zone (1183). A good, solid day.

The next true standout hits on Wednesday, August 5th. The afternoon brings a 6ft swell from the WSW with a very long period of 16 seconds. That is a proper groundswell. The combined energy is very strong at 1794. The wind is glassy with a slight air. This is an excellent session for experienced surfers, and the long period will make the waves at La Boca Con Con – a beach break – a bit more straight and powerful, but the quality will be there. It’s a standout.

After that, the surf settles into a very consistent and clean pattern through the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th of August. Swell heights range from 4ft to 7ft, mostly from the SW, with light cross-offshore winds or glassy conditions. Energy stays moderate to strong. The 9th of August (Sunday morning) has another 7ft swell with clean, light wind, excellent for experts.

Things start to get a bit trickier from the 10th of August onwards. The 11th has a mix of marginal conditions, though Tuesday afternoon the 11th turns glassy again with a 4ft, 14-second period swell. The 12th of August is a poor day with cross-onshore wind and chop – a write-off.

The 13th of August (Thursday morning) is a nice surprise: glassy conditions with a 5ft swell from the SW, period 10 seconds, energy moderate (693). Clean conditions.

From the 14th of August onward, it’s mostly marginal with light cross-onshore winds and smaller swells, dropping to 3ft to 4ft. The energy drops off, and the conditions are not great. The 15th of August (Saturday) has some onshore wind and a messy outlook.

So, to sum it up: the absolute best window is Sunday, August 2nd through Wednesday, August 5th. Don’t miss the glassy mornings. There’s a gap of poor conditions around the 12th, but the 13th morning offers a final clean window before the run fades out.
