Bondo Kodi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about Bondo Kodi. We've got a solid two-week run of swell on the cards, but there's a bit of a waiting game at the start, and honestly, the wind has been a bit of a pain. It's not a bad outlook for the advanced crew though.

The first few days are looking messy. Tuesday the 7th kicks off with a 5ft SW groundswell (997 combined energy) but that cross-shore breeze is going to put a bit of a chop on it. Wednesday the 8th has some size pushing 6ft to 7ft (1586-2039 energy), but the cross-shore wind isn't letting up, so the surface will be lumpy. That pattern holds through Thursday and Friday—plenty of swell, but the wind is just not playing ball for that clean, groomed look. Saturday the 11th is similar, with 5ft to 6ft sets.

Now, here's where it gets interesting. Sunday the 12th morning, we finally get a break. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, with a clean 4ft SW groundswell (522 energy). That is going to be a beautiful, clean window at the point. Get on it early. The Sunday session fades a bit in the arvo as the cross-shore returns. Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th are small and a bit grotty, nothing special.

But keep your eye on Wednesday the 15th. The morning sees a 6ft SW groundswell (1779 energy) with an offshore breeze. That's a proper combo. The point will be peeling nicely, and it’s got some grunt to it. After that, the stand-out is Thursday the 16th morning. Another glassy morning with a solid 5ft SW swell (1092 energy), which the forecast calls excellent for experienced surfers. That is your absolute best bet for the whole run—prepare for some long, clean walls. Friday the 17th morning is also glassy with a 5ft SW swell (836 energy), a great follow-up session.

The end of the run gets a bit tricky. Saturday the 18th afternoon has a clean 5ft SW swell (1030 energy) which is another good one for the skilled crew, and then Sunday the 19th sees a return of some size (6ft, 1520 energy) but with lumpy cross-shore winds. The final few days into the 22nd get pretty small and have light cross-shore breeze.

So to sum it up: the whole window has swell but the wind is often a problem. The absolute highlights are the glassy windows: Sunday 12th morning, Thursday 16th morning (the best of the lot), and Friday 17th morning. Next best is Wednesday 15th morning with that offshore wind and solid 6ft. Expect crowds at Bondo Kodi on these days as it's a popular spot.

Rusty, signing off.
