La Boca Con Con Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's talk wave conditions at La Boca Con Con over the next couple of weeks.

It's gonna start off flat, but there's some good stuff on the way.

Water temp is a hair under 57°, which is perfectly normal for this time of year.

Monday the 24th is a total dud. We're looking at a 2-foot swell from the SSW with a 13-second period, but the wind is messy and there's just no energy. Forget it.

Tuesday the 25th shows a little life. The morning has glassy conditions with a light SW wind. The swell is a tiny 2 feet but it's a long-period 15-second groundswell from the WSW. The energy is moderate (254), so the lines will be there, but it's small. The afternoon turns to crap with onshore wind.

Now, things get interesting from Wednesday the 26th. The morning is still marginal, but by Wednesday afternoon, the swell picks up to 5 feet from the WSW (10-second period), and the wind goes cross-offshore. The energy jumps to 606 – that's solid, moderate wave energy. It's still marginal on paper, but with clean wind and building swell, get in the water.

Thursday the 27th is the big one, but it's huge. We're seeing 12 feet of WSW swell with a 15-second period and extreme energy readings of 5855. That's well over 8 feet, so this is for experts only. A big, powerful groundswell. The wind is light from the NW in the morning, then goes cross-onshore in the arvo. This is the standout, but you gotta know what you're doing.

Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th see the swell dropping back but still holding good size at 8 feet and 6 feet. The wind is cross-onshore, so not clean, but there's plenty of water moving around.

Sunday the 30th is your pick of the second week. We get a 5-foot WSW swell with cross-offshore winds from the SSW. Clean conditions and a 679 energy reading – that's a good, fun day on the cards. Monday the 31st is similar but the swell starts to drop.

Looking further ahead, Wednesday the 2nd of September offers up some lovely looking 3 to 3-foot swell with a very long 18-second period from the WSW. That's classic, drawn-out groundswell, and the morning is clean with cross-offshore wind.

Then into the second week, Thursday the 3rd of September sees another pulse, jumping to 6 and 7 feet from the WSW with a 14-second period. Strong energy again (2129 and 1900). The winds are tricky, but there's a lot of swell in the water. The standout here might be Tuesday the 8th of September. The morning looks small, but the afternoon? 7 feet of WSW swell, 14-second period, energy of 1534, and glassy conditions. That is an excellent call for experienced surfers. Clean, lined up waves.

All in all, the window for the confident surfer is from Wednesday the 26th through the weekend. The absolute biggest and most powerful is Thursday the 27th, but you better be on your game. For cleaner, more manageable waves, aim for Sunday the 30th or that promising Tuesday the 8th of September.
