The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what the next couple of weeks look like in the water.
I’ll level with you – this whole 16-day run is a total washout. From Sunday, the 26th of July, right through to Monday, the 10th of August, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The score is a flat zero, so no standout sessions to get excited about. That’s a solid 16 days of no recommended surf.
The only spot we’re looking at is La Boya, a reef break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the south. The swell is mostly coming from the ESE and SE, but the optimum swell for this place is from the south, so it’s never really lining up. The water’s sitting at a warm 84°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The problem is the wind. For the entire period, it’s either onshore or cross-onshore, blowing from the ESE and SE, with speeds ranging from 6 mph up to 16 mph. That’s all light to moderate breeze, but it’s the wrong direction. We see a bit of a bump in swell size around Thursday, the 30th of July, with waves hitting 5 ft to 6 ft and the combined energy climbing to 287 and 330 (moderate), but the period is short at 8 seconds and the wind is chopping it up. It’s a classic case of “poor surf conditions” – the comment says it all.
Later on, the 9th of August has a bit of energy with swell around 5 ft and energy hitting 325 (moderate), but again, it’s onshore wind and short period. The 10th of August shows similar energy, but it’s the same story. No clean, glassy windows, no offshore winds, and the swell is never really from the right direction. For a reef break like La Boya, you need that clean south swell to get the banks working, and we just don’t have it.
Honestly, if you’re desperate, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, especially on those days with moderate onshore breeze and some chop. But for a surfer? It’s a blank run. This area is known for this kind of flat spell, so it’s not a total shock. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d say leave the boards in the shed and wait for the next system.
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.
