The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I’ll be honest with you – it’s looking grim out there. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing good to get excited about. From now through the 8th of September, the surf is just junk. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, the swell is weak and short period, and everything is marked as poor surf conditions. The combined swell energy is weak, rarely getting above 100 (66 to 260), and that’s just not gonna give you anything worth paddling out for. You’ll be fighting chop and wind bumps for scraps.
There is a real long wait for anything that might be worth a look. The first real change comes on Thursday the 10th of September. The swell picks up to 6ft from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds – still short, but the combined energy jumps to 822 (moderate to strong). The morning has a light breeze from the East at 6 mph, so it’s cross-onshore but light. It’s still only a marginal call, with a score of 1. The afternoon is a write-off with onshore wind. So, Thursday morning at La Boya (reef) is the only standout in the whole 16-day window. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Everything else after that fades back into poor conditions. So, if you’re desperate, you’ve got one morning to try on the 10th. Otherwise, it’s a long, flat spell.
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.
