La Bocana - surf spot statistics

La Bocana, Mexico, offers consistent surf conditions year-round, with ground swells dominating the wave energy almost exclusively from April to September (99% to 93% ground swell). The best months for surfers seeking powerful, clean waves are typically from April to October when the mean swell size ranges between 1.3m and 1.6m, peaking in June and September (1.6m). Wind conditions improve slightly in the second half of the year, with October standing out as the most favorable (45% good wind days). However, offshore winds remain a challenge throughout the year, with bad wind conditions prevailing 55% of the time or more. Early summer (June) and early fall (September) strike the best balance between swell size and slightly more manageable winds, making them prime windows for experienced surfers. Winter months (January-March) see smaller swells (1.2m) and higher wind interference (60-63% bad winds), while late spring (May) offers larger swells (1.5m) but similar wind drawbacks. July and August provide consistent ground swells (96-95%) with marginally better wind odds (42-43% good days), though the overall wind reliability remains low. For surfers prioritizing swell consistency over wind conditions, La Bocana delivers reliably from spring through fall, with October offering the faintest hope of cleaner winds amidst solid 1.5m swells.
