Bondo Kodi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

We’ve got some solid groundswell on the way for Bondo Kodi, a classic advanced point break that loves a good SW swell. The water is sitting at 79°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

The first few days are a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. Sunday the 6th through to Tuesday the 8th, we’ve got decent sized swell, 6ft to 7ft, but the wind is a real pest – mostly cross-onshore and choppy, which isn’t doing the wave quality any favours. The energy is there though, with readings showing moderate to strong power. Keep your expectations in check for these sessions.

Wednesday the 9th sees a bit more size, with 8ft from the SSW, but the wind is still cross-shore, making it a bit of a messy affair. The energy is strong, but the shape won’t be pristine.

Now, look here. The first real standout we get is on Friday the 11th in the afternoon. Clear skies, a light ESE cross-off breeze, and a solid 7ft of SW groundswell with a 16-second period. That’s proper long-period groundswell, and it’s going to wrap beautifully into this point. The combined energy is strong, and the wind will have the waves clean. This is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s an advanced wave, so if you’re not on your game, give it a miss. Crowds are possible here, so get your spot early.

Saturday the 12th is smaller, but the afternoon session on the 13th (Sunday) is another beauty. The swell jumps back to 8ft from the SW, with a 18-second period, and a clean cross-off wind from the ESE. That’s going to be a ripper of a session, with strong energy. This is your second standout.

Then we hit a real special patch. Monday the 14th morning and Tuesday the 15th morning are both glassy. Zero wind, 7ft to 7ft of SW groundswell. The energy is moderate, but the conditions will be absolutely perfect. If you want silky, clean lines, these are your windows. The 14th afternoon is a bit cross-shore, but still rideable.

The second week is a bit of a mixed bag. The 16th and 17th are okay, but the wind starts to mess things up again. The big story for the end of the outlook is the size. Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th see the swell really kick in, hitting 10ft. That’s big, powerful stuff. This is expert only territory. The wind on the 19th is cross-onshore and choppy, so it’s going to be a washing machine. The 20th morning has a lighter cross-onshore, but still 10ft, so it’s a serious, heavy day.

Finally, Monday the 21st morning is back to glassy, with a clean 6ft of SW groundswell. A perfect way to finish the run if you can wait.

So, if you’re picking your moments, the clear standouts are the Friday the 11th afternoon and the Sunday the 13th afternoon. For the absolute best conditions, the glassy mornings on the 14th and 15th are unbeatable, but the swell is a touch smaller. For the big wave hunters, the 19th and 20th are the ones, but it’s a wild, choppy mess.
