The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. I’m not gonna lie, this stretch for the next 16 days is a bit of a tough one. The spotting of the forecast is for La Boya, a reef break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the south. The swell that’s working its way in is coming from the south-east, but the trouble is, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, which is just messing up the surface. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is about normal for this time of year, so a nice warm dip, but the waves are a write-off for the first week.
The whole period kicks off with a real flat spell. From Monday, 20 July, right through to the end of the month, we’re looking at tiny, weak waves. The swell height is barely scraping 5 ft on the best days, but it’s all short-period, 7 seconds or less, and the wind is constantly onshore from the east or south-east. The combined energy is weak, often under 100, and the surf reports are all saying "poor surf conditions." There’s a bit of a lift on Friday, 24 July, with some energy hitting 203, but it’s still onshore and messy. No point getting excited.
The first sign of something half-decent doesn’t appear until Monday, 3 August. The morning shows a 4 ft swell from the ESE, with a light cross-onshore breeze and a bit more energy behind it (213). The period is still short at 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy, but it’s the best we’ve seen. Then Tuesday, 4 August, the morning session has a 5 ft ESE swell and the combined energy jumps to 319, which is moderate. Still, the wind is onshore, so it’s going to be choppy. This is the only real standout in the whole outlook, and it’s a long way off. It’s going to be a real grind for the first two weeks, but if you’re desperate, set your alarm for the morning of 4 August. It’s not perfect, but it’s the only chance of a halfway decent wave.
There’s a big gap of nothing from today until the end of July, so don’t bother checking the water for a good week. The consistency is poor, and the conditions are just not there. This is a normal dry spell for the area, so don’t worry, it’ll turn around eventually.

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. 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.
