La Boca Con Con Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here again. Let's break down the next couple of weeks in feet and miles per hour. The water's sitting at 57°, which is about average for this time of year.

The first few days are a total bust. No surf worth mentioning until Thursday morning the 20th. That's a three-day gap with nothing.

Alright, Thursday the 20th, we're on. La Boca Con Con is the call for the morning. Swell is 5ft from the WSW, with a period of 13 seconds – that's a solid groundswell, lots of energy. Wind is a light cross-offshore breeze, keeping things clean. The combined energy is 890 (moderate wave energy). This spot is beginner-friendly and very consistent, so you'll get waves. Crowds are possible, but the conditions are sweet. Thursday afternoon stays clean with a 5ft swell and cross-off winds.

Friday the 21st is smaller, with 4ft swells, but the wind stays cross-off and light, making for a clean, fun session on a bigger board. The energy drops to 613 (weak to moderate), but it's still a good paddle.

Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd are messy. The wind goes cross-on, and the swell drops. Saturday's 4ft swell has a short period of 8 seconds, making for choppy, weak waves. By Sunday, it's tiny. Skip it.

Monday the 24th is marginal. Then Tuesday the 25th afternoon is a real beauty. The wind goes glassy, perfect. The swell is 4ft from the WSW with a 14-second period – a long period groundswell. The energy is 698 (weak to moderate). This is a clean, glassy session, but being a beach break, that long period might make the waves a bit fat. Still, glassy is gold.

The big standout is Friday the 28th of August. Swell pumps up to 8ft from the WSW, with a 14-second period – that's a powerful groundswell. The combined energy is a massive 2934 (strong wave energy). The wind is cross-off, giving clean, lined-up waves. This is for experienced surfers only, as 8ft is solid. The quality is excellent. Saturday the 29th is still pumping with 8ft to 7ft swells, cross-off winds, and plenty of energy. This is the best window of the whole forecast.

The following week, things settle down but stay fun. The 30th of August has a glassy afternoon with 5ft swell, and the 31st has a glassy session with 5ft. The 2nd of September has a glassy afternoon with 4ft from the WSW, and a 16-second period – that's a very long period groundswell, great for the point. The energy is 1069 (moderate wave energy).

The long-range stuff for the 3rd of September is promising but less certain. Swell is 6ft with a 14 to 15-second period, but the wind is cross-on, so it's a gamble.

Summing it up: the first few days are a wash. Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st are good for clean, smaller waves. Tuesday the 25th afternoon is a glassy gem. But the absolute standout is Friday the 28th of August right through the weekend – that's the big, clean, powerful swell for the experienced crew. Get out there.

Rusty.
