The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line.
We’ve got a solid stretch of surf ahead at Bondo Kodi, but it’s not going to be a total classic, more like a long, slow burn. The water’s sitting at 79°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so your wettie won’t feel any different.
We kick off right now, on Friday morning, August 21st. The swell is pumping in at 7ft from the SW, with a very long period of 15 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The combined energy is solid at 3151 (strong). The wind is light cross-shore, which is fine, but the call is only a marginal one, so don’t expect perfection. That long period will make for some juicy lines, but at a point break like this, it should hold up nicely. It’s advanced out there, so keep your wits about you.
The swell sticks around through the weekend, hovering between 7ft and 8ft, with that long period. Winds stay light, but tend to be a bit cross-on or cross-shore, nothing too nasty. It’s surfable, but not firing. The energy stays in the moderate-to-strong range.
Now, Wednesday morning, August 26th – this is a real standout. The swell is 6ft from the SW, period of 14 seconds, and the wind goes glassy. Absolutely clean. The energy is 1187 (moderate), but with the wind off, this will be the best session of this first week. It’s a short window, so be there for first light.
The middle of the run gets a bit messy, with stronger winds and choppier conditions through the end of August. Saturday, August 29th, still has a 7ft SW swell, but those stronger cross-shore winds will chop it up.
Then we get into September 1st and 2nd. Tuesday afternoon, September 1st, the wind goes cross-offshore, and the swell picks up to 6ft from the SW with a 17 second period. The energy jumps to 3256 – that’s a solid push of power. That’s a good call.
Wednesday morning, September 2nd, is the biggest of the whole run: 10ft from the SW, period of 18 seconds, combined energy of 4654 (very strong). That is expert-only territory. It’s offshore wind from the SW too, so it will be huge and clean. That’s a big-water day, not for the faint-hearted.
Saturday morning, September 5th, is another glassy session, with a 6ft SW groundswell at 18 seconds and energy of 2644. The wind is glassy again, so that’s a second standout call. Clean, lined-up, and powerful.
Overall, the best on offer are the glassy mornings of Wednesday August 26th and Saturday September 5th. The big push on September 2nd is for the hardcore crew only. Crowds are possible here, so pick your session wisely.
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.
