The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking for Bondo Kodi. This is a point break, so it’s built for those longer period swells, and it’s set up for a south-west swell. It’s an advanced spot and fairly consistent, so you’ve got to earn your waves here. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year.
Right now, the first week is a bit of a write-off. From Friday the 24th all the way through to Thursday the 31st of July, we’re stuck in a pattern of modest, cross-shore wind and just average wave heights. The energy is sitting in that moderate range (around 500 to 900), but the conditions are always just a little bit off – a bit of cross-chop, or a bit lumpy. The best you’ll get is a score of two out of ten, which is more of a “I’m just happy to be in the water” session than anything worth writing home about. Saturday the 25th afternoon is a total write-off with a fresh breeze and lumpy chop, so don’t bother.
Things start to flicker towards the end of the first week. Friday the 31st of July sees a jump in energy (1249) and the wind is getting lighter, but it’s still cross-onshore. The swell is a clean 4ft from the SSW with a very long 17-second period, which is a proper groundswell. That kind of period at a point break is a beautiful thing, but the wind is just holding it back from being truly special.
Now, hold onto your board, because the real standout is the weekend of August 2nd and 3rd. That’s the one you’ve been waiting for.
Sunday, August 2nd, is the pick of the entire forecast. The morning is glassy – absolutely no wind – and you’ve got a solid 7ft SSW groundswell pumping in with a 17-second period. The combined energy jumps to a whopping 2848, which is strong. This is serious, powerful surf. The afternoon cleans up with a light cross-offshore breeze, and the energy hits 3150. This is big, clean, powerful, point-break perfection. This is for experienced surfers only, and the crowds are likely because everyone will know about it. Monday, August 3rd, is a very close second. Morning glass again, 6ft from the SW with a 16-second period, and strong energy (1573). The afternoon is clean with a light offshore breeze. These two days are the absolute cream of the crop.
The following days, Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th, still have some decent size and energy, but the wind starts to get a bit messy or onshore, taking the edge off. The energy is still strong (2007 on Tuesday morning), but the quality drops. You’ll still get a wave, but it won’t be as clean as the weekend.
Overall, the first week is a bust. The second week, specifically that first weekend of August, is the real deal. Get yourself to Bondo Kodi on Sunday the 2nd or Monday the 3rd for the best surf of the outlook.
