The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up over the next sixteen days.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch for La Boya. The finder is showing zero standout sessions for the entire run. The water is sitting at 84°, which is about normal for the time of year, so at least you won’t need a wettie, but that’s about the only good news.
We’re looking at a long, frustrating gap right through until the end of July. From Tuesday the 14th all the way through to Tuesday the 28th, every single session is rated as poor surf conditions. The swell is mostly small, hanging around 3ft to 5ft, and the period is short, between 6 and 8 seconds. That’s weak, windswell stuff. The wind is a constant problem too – it’s either cross-onshore or directly onshore from the ESE or SE, with speeds between 9 and 16 mph. The wave energy is low to moderate, with values like 49 and 173 (combined energy), so there’s no grunt behind it. The face is going to be a choppy mess.
There’s a tiny glimmer right at the end. On Wednesday the 29th of July, the morning session shows a bit of a bump. The swell picks up to 5ft from the ESE with an 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 527, which is moderate. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore breeze from the E at 9 mph. It’s still only a marginal forecast, and the reef is exposed to the south swell, but this is the best looking window in the whole 16 days. If you’re desperate, that’s your shot. The afternoon on the 29th though, the wind swings back onshore and it’s back to the same old story.
So, bottom line: there’s no good surf on offer here. For this area, a blank run like this is pretty normal. It tends not to stay poor for long, and forecasts can change, but right now, you’re better off leaving the boards in the garage.
Rusty.

Information about the La Boya Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for La Boya provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at La Boya can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our La Boya surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (La Boya) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for La Boya may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
