La Bocana Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what La Bocana is serving up over the next couple of weeks.

Right out of the gate, Saturday the 4th has some clean morning surf. We’re looking at a 3ft SSW swell with a 15-second period – that’s a proper groundswell with good energy (646). The wind is glassy from the ENE, so it’ll be clean. This spot is a river break, exposed to the SSW swell, which is exactly what this guidance says it likes. It’s an inconsistent spot though, so you can’t bank on it firing all day, but Saturday morning is a real highlight. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

That sweet glass holds into Sunday the 5th morning too, with a similar 3ft SSW swell and a 14-second period (667 energy). Again, glassy conditions. The afternoons both days get a bit blown out with S and WSW winds.

The energy really starts to build as we head into the new week. Monday the 6th sees moderate energy (1068) but cross-onshore winds in the morning. The afternoon has a 3ft swell with a super long 20-second period (1378 energy), but the wind state is unknown so it’s a gamble.

Tuesday the 7th morning is where it gets interesting for the experienced crew. We’ve got a 4ft SSW swell with an 18-second period, and combined energy is strong at 1514. Glassy conditions on the morning – that’s a standout session. The swell is over 4ft so maybe not for beginners. Wednesday the 8th morning is another good one: 5ft swell, glassy, 16-second period, and solid energy (1187). This is expert territory.

After that, the swell drops back through Thursday and Friday, but it’s not dead. The energy stays moderate.

Saturday the 11th morning is worth a mention: zero wind, glassy, with a 4ft, 16-second SSW swell (640 energy). Clean glass.

From the 13th onward, the swell sits around 3ft to 4ft with periods between 13 and 16 seconds. Energy drops to weak to moderate levels. The winds turn more favorable in the mornings – cross-offshore or offshore from the NNE and NE, giving clean conditions. Friday the 17th afternoon is particularly nice: glassy, 3ft, 16-second swell (547 energy), and Saturday the 18th morning is glassy again with a 4ft, 15-second swell (689 energy). Sunday the 19th morning wraps it up with flat calm and glassy 4ft swell (634).

There’s a stretch from the 13th to the 19th where the morning windows are clean but the swell is smaller – more longboard or funboard territory. Still, plenty of glassy mornings to get out there.

Overall, the best session of the whole period is Tuesday the 7th morning. That’s the one to clear your calendar for.

Rusty.
