The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
We've got a solid run of surf on the horizon at Bondo Kodi. This is a point break that needs a solid SW swell and it's a bit of a handful, suited for advanced surfers only. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The week kicks off proper on Tuesday morning, the 18th of August. The ocean is already pumping with a solid SW groundswell, 4ft, but the period is a massive 16 seconds. That's a long-period groundswell, and on a point break like this, those long lines will wrap in beautifully. The wind is a light ESE cross-off, and the energy reading is a very strong 1972. It's clean, it's starting to push, and the vibes are good.
Wednesday, the 19th of August, is the standout. The morning is glassy, with clean 8ft SW swell at an even longer 18-second period. The energy is massive, hitting 3472. This is the session to point the car at. The afternoon holds up well too, with the swell building to 8ft and the wind turning light cross-off. It's powerful, it's long, and it's clean. This is the best of the whole run.
The surf stays in the 7ft to 8ft range through Thursday and Friday, but the wind starts to get a bit messy, turning cross or cross-on, so the surface won't be as pristine. The swell direction swings a bit more SSW, but the point will still pick it up. The energy stays high, all in the 2000 to 3000 range, but the quality drops off.
From Saturday the 22nd of August through to the end of the month, the best of the swell is behind us. The wind is mostly cross-on from the S or SSE, and the ocean gets a bit choppy. The energy drops, and the surf becomes more marginal. The 25th of August shows a small window of offshore wind with a 5ft SSW swell, but it's a brief moment.
Into the first days of September, the swell tries to kick back up. On the morning of Tuesday the 1st of September, we see a 5ft, 18-second SW groundswell with a solid energy reading of 2591, but the wind is onshore, so it's a choppy mess. The 2nd of September morning has 8ft SW swell at 16 seconds, but again, the persistent onshore breeze ruins the party. For the advanced crew, there are waves to be had, but the conditions are a battle.
There are no other options on the table. The second week is a long, drawn-out run of onshore wind and fading swell, with only a few pulses of raw energy that are hard to enjoy. The best advice is to be on the water Wednesday morning, the 19th of August. That's the one.
Rusty.

Information about the Bondo Kodi Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Bondo Kodi provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Bondo Kodi can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Bondo Kodi surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Bondo Kodi may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
