La Boca Con Con Surf Forecast and Surf Report

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

First up, we’ve got a solid run of swell heading our way, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag with the wind. The water temp is sitting at 57°F, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no surprises there.

We kick things off on Monday the 27th of July with a bit of a damp squib – light rain and a 6ft W swell, but the conditions are marginal, so not one to get too excited about.

Things start to clean up nicely on Tuesday the 28th. The morning brings a 8ft WSW swell with glassy, offshore conditions. That’s a solid, clean wave for anyone who’s got the experience – the combined energy is a hefty 1573, so there’s plenty of grunt in the water. The afternoon stays glassy with a 7ft swell, still very good.

Wednesday the 29th sees the swell drop a touch to 4ft in the morning, but with the wind going totally calm and glassy, it’ll be a pretty, clean little wave. The afternoon gets a bit bumpy with a cross-shore wind.

Thursday the 30th is a write-off – the wind swings onshore and chops things up, with swell dropping to 3ft. Friday the 31st is no better, with a strong 25 mph onshore wind making a mess of things.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Saturday the 1st of August looks like a beauty. The morning session has a 6ft SW swell with glassy conditions – that’s clean, fun surf for all levels. The afternoon holds the same size and quality. Sunday the 2nd keeps it going with a 6ft W swell and glassy wind again. The whole run from Saturday morning through to Monday afternoon on the 3rd of August is a real highlight – consistent 5ft to 6ft swell, light winds, and clean conditions. The combined energy is moderate to strong in that 541 to 924 range.

For a true standout, you have to look at Thursday the 6th of August. We’ve got a 10ft WSW swell rolling in, with a period of 14 seconds and glassy, calm conditions. That’s big, powerful groundswell – the combined energy is a massive 2880. This is strictly for the experts, as it’s over 8ft. It’s going to be a beast of a day.

Then, on Friday the 7th of August, it gets even bigger. The afternoon brings a 13ft SW swell with a 16-second period and clean, cross-offshore winds. The combined energy is a staggering 9459. This is exceptional, dangerous surf – only for the most experienced crew. The long period means it’ll be breaking a bit straight at the beach, but for a point break or reef, it’ll be a freight train.

The following week stays active. Saturday the 8th of August is glassy in the morning with a 10ft SW swell, but gets a bit cross-onshore in the afternoon. Sunday the 9th is good for the experienced, with a 8ft SW swell. The week of the 10th and 11th of August still has some solid 8ft SW swell with clean, cross-offshore winds, though the period drops a bit.

Overall, the best bet is the run from the 1st to the 3rd of August for all-round fun, clean waves. For the big dogs, the 6th and 7th of August are the ones to circle on the calendar – just be ready for a serious session.

This is Rusty, signing off.
