The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but for La Boya, it’s a long, flat spell with nothing but onshore wind and poor conditions. The near-term is a write-off.
Right now, on Thursday the 30th, it’s clear skies but that ESE wind at 12 mph is junk. The swell is a weak 4 ft from the ESE with a short period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is a paltry 149 (weak). It’s cross-on, choppy, and messy. That’s the story for the next few weeks. The water temp is a warm 84°, which is about average for this time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s normal.
We’ve got a pattern of persistent SE to ESE winds, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is consistently small – between 3 ft and 5 ft – with short periods of 7 to 8 seconds. The energy is low, rarely breaking 200. It’s just poor surf condition after poor surf condition right through to the end of the first week of August.
There is a glimmer of something bigger on the horizon. On Thursday, August 13th, the swell jumps to 6 ft from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 631 (strong). That’s a significant bump in energy. But – and it’s a big but – the wind is still cross-on from the ESE at 12 to 16 mph. That’ll make it choppy and hard to manage. For a reef break like La Boya, that cross-on breeze is a killer. The size is fun for an intermediate, but the quality is going to be a battle. It’s the only standout in the whole forecast, but it’s a messy one. Don't get your hopes up too high for that one.
Bottom line: we’ve got a 14-day gap of dud surf before that one semi-interesting, but messy, day on the 13th. If you’re desperate, you might paddle out, but don’t expect much. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of this period.
Rusty.

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.
