La Boca Con Con Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for La Boca Con Con over the next sixteen days.

The window kicks off this Tuesday morning, August 18th, with a solid start. We’ve got a clean 3ft SW groundswell, with a period of 16 seconds. That’s proper long-period energy, and with a light cross-off breeze, the face will be smooth. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is about where it should be for this time of year. This is a beginner-friendly break, so those looking for a mellow introduction will be happy.

The surf picks up through Wednesday and Thursday, with morning sessions looking better thanks to lighter winds. By Thursday morning the swell is up to 6ft from the WSW with a 13-second interval and clean cross-off wind – that’s where I’d be heading for a good, long session.

Friday morning sees the swell drop a touch to 4ft, but the wind is still light and cross-off. Friday afternoon, the period drops to a short 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit mushy. Saturday the 22nd morning goes glassy with a 5ft SW swell, but keep an eye on the tide – that short period won’t hold much shape. The weekend is not the best, with some onshore winds and fading swell; Sunday the 23rd afternoon only has 1ft leftover.

The middle of the week from Monday the 24th through Thursday the 27th is average at best – small, mostly onshore or cross-on, and inconsistent. A bit of a lull.

Now, here’s the real standout. Look at Friday the 28th of August. The morning shows a building 8ft WSW swell with a 16-second period and cross-on wind – it’s a little raw early on. But Friday afternoon is the one to lock in. The swell pushes to 8ft from the WSW, period at 15 seconds, and the wind swings to a clean cross-off. The energy is massive. This is for experienced surfers only – the size and power will be too much for most. Saturday morning the 29th holds similar conditions: 8ft, clean cross-off, offering more excellent, powerful waves for the skilled crew.

There’s another promising window right as we flip into September. On Tuesday the 1st, the afternoon goes glassy with a 7ft WSW swell and a solid 14-second period. Then Wednesday the 2nd delivers again with a 8ft SW swell, 15-second period, and clean cross-off winds – another expert-friendly day with heaps of power.

Expect a few flat-ish days between the 23rd and 26th, but the two main highlights are the Friday/Saturday (28th-29th August) and the Tuesday/Wednesday (1st-2nd September). The closer stuff is reliable; the September dates look promising but we’ll see how it firms up.

Rusty.
