The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've got the goods on the surf outlook for Bondo Kodi. This is a cracking point break that's exposed to the SW, and it's been consistent through the forecast, so we've got plenty to talk about. The water's sitting at a warm 79°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The run starts on Wednesday, 9th September, with a solid 8ft SSW groundswell packing a big punch with combined energy of 3531 (moderate wave energy). The wind is a cross-shore from the SE at 15 km/h, which is going to put a bit of a cross-chop on the face. It's a bit lumpy, but it's still surfable for the experienced crew. The afternoon sees the swell drop a touch to 8ft, but the wind picks up to 20 km/h, making it chop-city. Not the best.
Thursday the 10th is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning has a 6ft SSW swell, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it's a bit messy. The afternoon bumps up to 7ft, but again, the cross-shore wind is gonna chop it up.
Friday the 11th morning is a highlight. We've got a 7ft SW groundswell and the wind is light offshore from the SSW at 5 km/h! That's a clean, glassy morning, but the combined energy is 2145 (moderate wave energy). The swell period is 16 seconds, which is a long-period groundswell. This is a point break, so it'll handle that long period really well, giving you some proper waves with long, clean lines. The afternoon sees the wind swing back to the cross-shore, so get it early.
But the real standout is Saturday, 12th September. The morning is absolutely magic. We've got a 5ft SW swell, but the wind is calm, a total glass-out. The combined energy is 1583 (moderate wave energy). It's going to be perfect, clean peeling waves. The afternoon is also a beauty, with a cross-offshore breeze at 10 km/h, keeping things clean. This is the best session on offer, no doubt.
Sunday the 13th has a bit of a story. The morning is a bit so-so with a cross-on wind, but the afternoon is a ripper. A 8ft SW groundswell with a very long 18-second period rolls in, combined energy of 3157 (moderate wave energy). The wind is cross-offshore from the east, so the waves will be holding up well. It's a solid swell, over 8ft, so this is expert territory, but for those who can handle it, it's a cracker.
The rest of the first week and into the second week is a bit of a mixed bag. Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th have some reasonable swell, but the wind is never quite perfect. You'll get some cleanish windows, but nothing worth writing home about. Wednesday the 16th morning is another glassy moment with a 6ft SW swell, but it's a bit smaller.
Looking further out, Thursday the 17th to Saturday the 19th is a bit of a lull, with smaller swells and mostly onshore or cross-shore winds. The standouts are few and far between.
Then we get a late surge. Sunday the 20th brings a 7ft SW groundswell with a 17-second period, but the wind is onshore in the morning, so it's a bit messy. The afternoon is a solid 8ft SSW swell, but the wind is strong cross-shore, so it's going to be a battle.
Monday the 21st is a bit of a late promise. The morning has a 8ft SSW swell, but the wind is cross-onshore. It's powerful, but it won't be pretty. The water temp is still the same, so no change there.
The final week (22nd to 24th September) has some more solid S/SW swell, but the wind is consistently cross-shore or cross-onshore, so it's a lot of chop and not a lot of clean wave faces. There's a bit of energy in the water, but it's not going to be a classic.
So, to wrap it up: the absolute best sessions are Saturday morning, 12th September, and Friday morning, 11th September. Saturday morning is the perfect glass-off, and Friday morning has that lovely offshore wind. Sunday afternoon, 13th September, is also a ripper for the experienced crew. The rest of the window is a bit of a struggle with the wind. The crowds at Bondo Kodi can be a thing sometimes, so keep that in mind, especially on the good days.
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. If you surf the same spot (Bondo Kodi) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
