About La Boca Concón

La Boca is a beach located at the mouth of the Aconcagua river, on its south side, in the city of Concón, in the Valparaíso region. It is one of the best places in central Chile to take your first steps in surfing, thanks to the variety of its waves and its forgiving waves that break over a sand bottom. It is no coincidence that many of the area's surf schools are concentrated here: it is a safe, friendly spot to learn and progress. The mix of river and sea creates sandbanks that form peaks with lefts and rights ideal for beginners and intermediates. Being very close to Viña del Mar and Concón, it has excellent access, services and a whole beach atmosphere. The water is cold, so a wetsuit is advisable. For those who want to learn to surf on the central Chilean coast, La Boca is one of the best options.

Condition Scoring

Rating Algorithm 1-10

Each forecast hour receives a score from 1 to 10, calculated by adding points for different factors:

Wave Height (0-4 pts)

< 0.5m = 0 pts | 0.5-1.0m = 1 pt | 1.0-1.5m = 2 pts | 1.5-2.5m = 3 pts | > 2.5m = 4 pts

Dominant Period (-1 to 3 pts)

Uses the dominant/peak period (wave_period). < 8s = -1 pt (wind swell, messy) | 8-10s = 0 pts | 10-12s = 1 pt | 12-16s = 2 pts | > 16s = 3 pts

Wind (-2 to +2 pts)

Glassy (< 5 km/h): +2. Light wind (5-10 km/h): +1. Moderate wind (10-20 km/h): offshore +1, onshore -1. Strong wind (> 20 km/h): onshore -2, offshore -1. Wind data covers the full 15-day forecast window.

Secondary Swell (-1 to +1 pt)

If a secondary swell with height ≥ 0.3m and long period (≥ 10s) exists, +1 point is added. If the period is short (< 10s) and direction differs > 45° from the primary swell, -1 point penalty for crossed seas. If directions are similar (≤ 45°), no penalty is applied.

Rating by score:

Flat (1) Poor (2-3) Fair (4-5) Good (6-7) Epic (8-10)
