The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the outlook for the next 16 days at La Boya is a real struggle. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions, with winds that just won’t play nice. The water temperature is sitting at 84°, which is 1° above the norm for this time of year, so it’s about average.
We’ve got a solid gap of no worthwhile surf from the start all the way through to the end of July. The first faint glimmer of something half-decent doesn’t show up until Thursday, 30 July, when the swell jumps to 5 ft from the SE, but it’s still got an onshore SE wind at 15 mph. The combined energy is moderate (298), but the wind is going to wreck any chance of clean waves. The next day, Friday, 31 July, the morning shows a stronger 6 ft swell from the ESE, with a light onshore breeze. The wave energy is strong (657), and the period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s a bit of a windswell mess. It’s only a marginal call, and the wind is still onshore, so it’s not looking good.
After that, it’s back to poor conditions for the rest of the run. La Boya is a reef break that’s exposed to the swell, but it needs an offshore NW wind to clean up, and we’re getting nothing but SE, ESE, and onshore winds the whole time. The swell direction is coming from the SE, which is the opposite of the optimum S direction, and the period stays short, between 5 and 8 seconds, meaning it’s a weak, choppy wave. The crowds are sometimes a factor here, but honestly, with this quality, you’ll have the place to yourself for the wrong reasons.
There’s no standout good session in this window. The best you could hope for is the 30th and 31st of July, but even then, the wind is onshore, the swell is short period, and the wave quality is poor. It’s a real bummer, but this is a dry spell, and it’s pretty normal for the area when the wind sets in from the wrong direction. Forecasts can change though, so keep an eye on it.
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.
