The Lowdown
Alright folks, let's be real about this forecast. It's a tough one. I've been staring at the numbers, and there’s a whole lot of nothing good on the menu for a while.
The next ten days or so are a total grind. We’re looking at a solid run of onshore and cross-onshore breezes, choppy water, and weak, disorganized swells. Wave heights flutter between 3ft and 6ft, but who cares when it’s all wind-slop. The swell periods are short, 6-8 seconds, which means no power, just bump. It's the kind of stuff that has you fighting the current more than riding waves.
There's a bit of a bump in energy around the 13th and 14th, where the combined energy jumps to 145 and then a strong 1094 on Friday morning, with the swell reaching 7ft. But the wind is cross-onshore and the period is a junky 8 seconds. It's just going to be a big, messy closeout. The model is screaming "poor surf conditions." And that 7ft is way too much for the groms, but it won't be any fun for the rest of us either.
Honestly, the first week is a write-off. You might find a tiny window on the 16th with lighter winds, but the swell is tiny and weak. You'll be bobbing around for scraps. It's not worth the drive.
But, there is a glimmer of hope. We’ve got to wait all the way until Monday the 24th. That afternoon, the wind finally swings around to a cross-off from the NNE, and for the first time, the call is for "surfable" waves. It's a low score, but it's something. The swell is still small, but that offshore wind should clean it up, and La Boya might actually have a few fun ones.
Looking further out, Wednesday the 26th has a little more size, with the swell reading 5ft and the period stretching to 8 seconds. The wind is forecast to be very light, so it could be decent. But that’s a week and a half away, so don't book the day off work just yet.
So here’s the plan: hang up the wettie for the next ten days. It's going to be a lot of watching closeouts and getting skunked. The one day that looks even remotely promising is Monday the 24th. Even then, keep your hopes in check. It might be small, but it might be clean. We'll take what we can get around here.
I'll keep an eye on it, but for now, it’s a waiting game.

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.

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.
