The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in on the local scene.
Honestly, it's a pretty grim run of forecasts we're looking at. For the next couple of weeks, you’re better off cleaning the wax off your board and doing some stretches, because the surf is almost non-existent. We’re looking at a long, flat stretch starting right now and running all the way through to the end of the first week of September. That’s a solid 12 days or so of junk.
The only break we’ve got to work with is La Boya. It’s a reef setup, fairly consistent, but the conditions are just not playing ball. The wind is nearly always onshore or cross-onshore out of the ESE to SSE, and the swell is weak and short-period. For the first week and a half, the combined wave energy is pitiful, sitting below 200 (often under 100) with poor surf quality scores. It’s a write-off.
Now, there’s a tiny flicker of hope you’ll want to keep an eye on. Around Monday the 7th of September, things start to look a bit more interesting. On the Monday morning, we see the swell bump up to 6ft from the SE, with a period of 8 seconds and the combined wave energy jumps to a moderate 633. The wind is light and onshore from the SE at only 3 mph, so it’ll be glassy. That’s the best call on offer, but it’s still only a marginal forecast, so don’t get your hopes up too high. The wind turns cross-onshore later that day, and the next day looks similar with more cross-onshore wind and a risk of thunderstorms. The swell sticks around 5-6ft, but the quality is still poor. This is a 8-second period SE swell, so it won’t have much shape.
Honestly, for the whole 16-day window, there is not a single standout day or break that gets me excited. The Monday 7th is the only one that even gets a sniff, and even then, we’re talking marginal conditions. For a reef break like La Boya, you want that swell from the S for the optimum shape, but we’re getting it from the SE, which isn’t ideal.
Hang in there. It’ll turn around.

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.
