Bondo Kodi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, let’s talk swell. We’ve got some serious groundswell energy coming down the pike at Bondo Kodi. This is a point break for advanced surfers, exposed to the SW and it picks up best when the swell direction matches that optimum. The water’s sitting around 79°, pretty much dead average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first sniff of proper action shows up on the morning of Saturday the 15th. That morning, you’re looking at a clean 6ft SSW groundswell with a period of 17 seconds, and the wind is dead glassy. That’s the sort of combo that gets a point breaking smooth and lined up. The combined energy is hefty at 1835 (moderate to strong). This is a standout window.

Come Sunday the 16th, the morning’s still got solid 6ft SSW swell at 16 seconds, but the wind turns onshore and the vibe gets choppier. Not the peak.

Then we roll into Monday the 17th morning – glassy again, 5ft SSW swell at 14 seconds, energy down a notch to 957 (weak to moderate). Clean but smaller.

Now, Tuesday the 18th morning is another absolute gem. Completely flat calm, glassy conditions, a 4ft SW groundswell but with a very long 16-second period, and combined energy is right up there at 1895 (moderate to strong). This is one of the best offers of the whole run. For an advanced crew, paddling out will be easy between sets, and the point should handle that long-period groundswell beautifully.

Wednesday the 19th morning steps it up a gear: 8ft SW swell, 18-second period, glassy wind, and the energy jumps to 3285 (strong). That’s big, powerful, and clean. It’s getting into expert territory at this size.

Thursday the 20th morning is the biggest of the period. A solid 10ft SW swell, 16-second period, glassy wind, and energy hitting 4342 (very strong). This is for experts only – too big for beginners, and with that kind of long-period energy, the point will be pumping but it’ll be a battle. The morning is where it’s at.

By Friday the 21st, the swell drops back to 7ft, but the winds start to mess with the surface. The rest of the second week hangs around the 5ft to 7ft range, with the standouts being the morning of Monday the 24th (glassy, 5ft, SW, 14 seconds) and the morning of Thursday the 27th (glassy, 6ft, SW, 14 seconds). Those are cleaner windows in an otherwise wind-affected run.

If you’re chasing the best, lock in Saturday 15th morning for that first taste of long-period groundswell with glass, and Tuesday 18th morning for the stunningly clean, long-period set-up.
