La Boca Con Con Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk waves at La Boca Con Con.

We’ve got a run of surf coming through, starting this Sunday morning. The swell is a solid 4ft from the SW with a long 13-second period, and the wind is glassy – that’s clean, lined-up waves for the weekend. The combined energy is moderate at 517. It’s not huge, but it’s a fun beginner-friendly wave, and the water temp is about average for this time of year. Crowds are possible sometimes, so keep an eye out.

Sunday afternoon drops a touch to 2ft but that 14-second period keeps it tidy. Still glassy.

Now, Monday morning the 13th is where it gets interesting. Swell bumps to 6ft from the WSW with an 18-second period – that’s a proper groundswell. Combined energy jumps to 2313, which is strong. The wind is glassy. This is excellent for experienced surfers. Monday afternoon sees 8ft, same direction, 16-second period, energy at 3202, still glassy. This is the standout of the first run. The longer period means the waves will have real shape and push, but at a pointbreak or reef break it’ll be a dream. At a beach break, that long period might make it a bit too straight, but this spot is fairly exposed and handles it.

Tuesday the 14th gets bigger – 10ft in the morning and 8ft in the afternoon – but the wind turns onshore and the conditions get questionable. Not recommended for the average surfer; this is big and messy. Combined energy is 2651 and 2274, but the quality is poor.

Wednesday the 15th morning cleans up with 5ft from the WSW, 12-second period, and a cross-offshore breeze. Energy drops to 696, but the surf is very good. Wednesday afternoon fades to 5ft with cross-onshore wind, marginal.

Thursday the 16th is a write-off. Small, choppy, 12-18 mph onshore winds. Friday the 17th brings 12ft in the morning, but heavy rain and strong winds. By Friday afternoon, 16ft from the NNW with 25 mph onshore wind – that’s pure chaos. Energy is 5800, but it’s a mess. This is for experts only, and even then it’s dangerous.

We then have a gap of a few days with no real recommendations – Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th are both marginal or on the bigger side with onshore winds. But Sunday the 19th afternoon shows a glimmer: 6ft from the W, 12-second period, and a clean cross-off breeze. Energy is 1952, and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers again.

Monday the 20th is a write-off – near gale-force winds and big, blown-out swell. By Tuesday the 21st morning, it’s still messy, but Tuesday afternoon the wind goes glassy and the swell drops to 5ft from the W, 10-second period. That’s a clean, fun wave, though the energy is lower at 593.

From Wednesday the 22nd onwards, the run fades. Small swells, mostly under 3ft, with some glassy windows. Wednesday afternoon has 3ft from the SW with a 12-second period, but the wind state is unknown. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th see tiny 1ft swells with very long periods (18-20 seconds) – that’s just a long wait between sets, not much to ride.

The best call? Monday morning and afternoon on the 13th of July – that 6ft to 8ft WSW groundswell, 16-18 second period, glassy wind, and strong combined energy. That’s the one to circle. Second best is Sunday the 19th afternoon.

Overall, there’s a solid 3-4 day window of good to excellent surf starting Sunday, but the second week is quiet with only small, clean windows.

Rusty.
