The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, looking at what we’ve got coming up for La Boya.
To be straight with you, this 16-day window looks pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, onshore-affected surf, and nothing is scoring high enough to get excited about. The first actual surf recommendation kicks off on Friday the 4th of September, but it’s really not worth paddling out for.
We’re looking at a solid run of poor surf conditions for almost the entire period. The swell stays small, between 2ft and 5ft for the whole outlook, with short, weak periods of just 6 to 8 seconds. The wind is almost always onshore from the ESE or SE, blowing across the break and messing up any potential shape. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
The combined swell energy is mostly weak, hovering in the double digits for the first week (26 to 120), then bumping up to moderate levels around the 12th and 13th of September, hitting 272 and 255, but with that same onshore wind, it’s just messy, lumpy water. The swell direction is coming from the SE, which is not the optimum S direction La Boya prefers.
There’s no standout day here. Even the slightly bigger pulse around the 12th and 13th of September is accompanied by onshore wind and risk of thunderstorms, making it a total write-off for paddle surfing. The setup at La Boya is an exposed reef, and with the onshore wind and short-period swell, it’s not going to offer any quality. Honestly, this whole period looks more interesting for a kite session than a surf.
We’ve got a gap of poor conditions from the start all the way through, with no real recovery. The last week just fades back into tiny, weak surf. Don't hold your breath—forecasts can change, but right now, this is a blank run.
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.
