La Boca Con Con Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about the next couple of weeks at La Boca Con Con.

First thing: this spot is a beginner-friendly, very consistent break that’s fairly exposed to the swell. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild there.

The next few days are building into something really nice. Friday morning, the 10th, starts with a clean 5ft SW swell, period a solid 13 seconds, and a light cross-off wind. The combined energy is strong (1124). That’s a good, fun wave for a learner. Friday afternoon stays clean, same swell lines, just a bit smaller. Saturday morning, the 11th, is the pick of the early period: clean 4ft SW swell with a 14-second period, glassy offshore wind, just a great setup for a long session. The energy is still solid (858).

Sunday the 12th drops off a bit, smaller and onshore, so not your best day. But then we get a real standout on Monday morning, the 13th. That’s when a long-period groundswell rolls in: 4ft from the WSW with a 20-second period. That’s a very long period, meaning the wave shape will be proper and the sets will have some punch. Winds are glassy, and the combined energy jumps to 1720 (strong). For experienced surfers, this is a gem. The 14-second period swell on the weekend was great, but the 20-second stuff on Monday is the real highlight.

Tuesday morning, the 14th, the swell jumps to 10ft from the WSW, still glassy. That’s expert territory – too big for beginners, but for the crew who can handle it, it’s clean and powerful. The energy is very strong (2875). By Wednesday the 15th, it drops back to a clean 7ft, still glassy, more manageable.

Then things get messy. Thursday the 16th turns choppy, and Friday the 17th brings a massive 15ft NW swell with 25-31 mph winds. That’s blown out and dangerous. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th are still big and messy, but Sunday afternoon the 19th sees the wind drop to glass, leaving a solid 8ft WNW swell with excellent conditions for experienced surfers. That’s another standout if you can pick the right bank.

The second week into late July fades. Monday the 20th is clean but smaller, and from the 22nd onward it’s small, weak, and mostly ordinary – you’re looking at knee-to-waist high dribble with very low energy (under 200). There’s a little spike on the 25th with a 20-second period, but it’s tiny.

So, bottom line: the best bet is Monday morning, the 13th of July, for that long-period glassy groundswell. The Sunday afternoon the 19th is also a cracker for the experts. Late July is a flat spell, so get out there early.
