La Boca Con Con Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The surf kicks off Thursday morning the 6th, but it’s a bit of a messy one. The swell is there at 7ft from the WSW, but the wind is a cross-off, and the water’s a touch on the cooler side at 57°, which is about average for this time of year. The wave energy is moderate (1470), but honestly, it’s not the cleanest setup. We’ll get through it.

Friday the 7th drops off a bit. Swell backs down to 5ft from the SW, and the periods are short, under 8 seconds. It’s a bit of a lull.

Then, hold onto your boards, because Saturday the 8th morning is the real standout. We’re looking at a solid 10ft SW groundswell with a very long 14-second period. The combined energy is strong (3081), and with a light S breeze at 6 mph, it’s staying cross-off and clean. This is for experienced surfers only – it’s too big for beginners. This is the best session on offer, no doubt.

Sunday the 9th morning is still pumping. Another 8ft SW swell with a 13-14 second period. The wind is gentle from the S, keeping things clean. The energy is still strong (3139). Another top pick for the experienced crew.

Monday the 10th morning is a real treat. The wind goes completely glassy, dead calm at 0 mph. The swell is 8ft from the SW, long period at 13 seconds, and the energy is strong (1703). This will be some of the cleanest, most perfect surf you’ll see. Excellent for experienced surfers.

After that, the swell tapers off through the middle of the week. Tuesday and Wednesday see smaller waves, down to 4ft and then 2ft, with some glassy conditions but not much to get excited about. There’s a gap of a few days with smaller, less consistent surf.

We get a bit of a pulse again on Tuesday the 18th, but the wind is messy. Then, Wednesday the 19th morning is a cracker. A solid 10ft WSW groundswell, long period at 15 seconds, and light cross-off winds from the SSW at 6 mph. The energy is very strong (3427). This is big, clean, and powerful – again, for experts only.

The biggest swell of the whole forecast hits on Thursday the 20th morning. A massive 15ft WSW swell, very long period at 16 seconds. The energy is through the roof (9914). The wind is light and cross-off, so it would be perfect, but the forecast says it’s predicted to be too big even for this break. It’s a monster. If you’re a big-wave charger, this is the one, but it’s a serious beast.

Friday the 21st morning offers a final solid day at 8ft from the WSW, with clean cross-off winds and strong energy (2323). A good way to wrap up the run.

The whole show is at La Boca Con Con. It’s a very consistent beginner-friendly spot normally, but the best waves this period are all solid groundswell for the more experienced. Crowds are possible, so get in early.

Rusty.
