The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s going on.
Honestly, mate, it’s a rough picture. Across the whole 16 days, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. There’s a solid stretch of nothing worth paddling for. The wind is the main problem – mostly cross-onshore or directly onshore from the ESE or SE. That’s going to keep the surface choppy and messy.
The only spot on the list is La Boya, a reef break. It’s fairly consistent and likes a south swell, but the swell we’re seeing is all from the ESE and SE, with heights barely hitting 3 to 5 feet at best. The period is short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak, wind-driven junk. The combined energy is low, mostly between 50 and 100 for the first week, which is pretty limp.
There’s a little bump in energy on August 30th, hitting 364, but it’s still from the ESE with onshore wind, so it’s not going to be rideable. You’d be fighting the breeze for a crumbly, short-period mess. Because it’s a reef and the swell is off-angle, it’ll be sectiony and poor.
No standout days. Nothing comes close to a recommendation. It’s just a long, flat, windy run. For a reef like this, you’d want clean offshore wind from the NW, and we never see that. The swell never gets over 5 feet, so size isn’t the issue, but the quality is terrible. It’s more of a kite-surfing breeze than a surfable wave.
This area is just in a quiet spell. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about. Save the energy for another time.
Rusty.

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.
