La Boca Con Con Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with the outlook for our little stretch of coast. We’re looking at a solid run of surf, but you gotta pick your moments and know your limits.

Right off the bat, we’ve got good energy pushing in. La Boca Con Con is a very consistent spot and fairly exposed, picking up a nice SW groundswell. The water temp is sitting right about average for this time of year, so no shock to the system when you jump in. We’re talking a real strong pulse of energy here, with combined swell readings around (2127), so there’s plenty of push.

Things kick off proper on Sunday, July 5th. The morning session sees a clean 7ft SW swell with a very long 16-second period. The wind is light offshore from the SSE, so it’ll be holding up nicely. That’s big, clean, and powerful – definitely for experienced surfers only at that size and energy. Afternoon stays clean with a touch more size at 7ft, but the wind swings a bit cross-off. Still, top-tier conditions for the crew that can handle it.

Moving into Monday, July 6th, the swell drops a touch to 6ft, but the wind goes glassy in the morning. That’s dead calm, perfect conditions. Period is still a long 15 seconds, so the sets will have plenty of punch and shape. This is a classic point break or rivermouth sort of swell, so expect lined-up walls. The energy is still strong (1326).

Tuesday, July 7th, is smaller at 4ft, but the early session is clean with a light cross-off breeze. It’s a step down in power, but still surfable for the beginner crowd looking for something manageable.

Wednesday, July 8th, the swell picks back up. The afternoon is the real standout here: a clean 5ft SW swell with a cross-off breeze and excellent conditions for the experienced crew. Energy is high (1437). Come Thursday, July 9th, the morning is glassy again with a 6ft swell from the west. That combination of glass-off and solid size is hard to beat. It’s a great few days.

Now, we hit a bit of a lull. Friday, July 10th, has some cross-shore wind in the morning, but the afternoon cleans up nicely with 5ft surf. Saturday, July 11th, is smaller again in the morning, but watch out for the afternoon session on Saturday – a 5ft WSW groundswell with a very long 17-second period and clean cross-off winds. That’s a sneaky good wave. Energy jumps back up to (2045).

Sunday, July 12th, the swell jumps to a chunky 8ft WSW. That is expert territory only. The morning is clean with cross-off winds, but at that size and with that much power (1833 energy), you need to know what you’re doing out there.

After that, things start to drop off. The middle of the week from July 14th through 15th is pretty ordinary. We get onshore wind from the NW and NNW, and the swell drops under 4ft. It’s a few days of mostly marginal, small, and bumpy surf. A real gap in the action.

Look further ahead to the following week. Thursday, July 16th, things fire back up. A clean 6ft to 6ft SW groundswell with cross-off winds. Energy is back up (1554). Friday, July 17th, the wind picks up though, with a moderate to fresh breeze from the S and SSW. The wave size is still there at 6ft, but it’ll be choppy. That setup, with strong wind and a beach break, starts looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Saturday, July 18th, is much calmer with light winds and a clean 5ft swell. A good way to end the run. After that, it fades into small, weak, and glassy conditions by Sunday and Monday, July 19th and 20th.

So the big call: the standout windows are the Sunday, July 5th morning session for the heavy crew, and the glassy Monday, July 6th morning. For the second week, Thursday, July 16th looks promising, but it’s a longer-range call so keep an eye on it.

Stay safe out there.
Rusty.
