The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up for Bondo Kodi.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a solid run of swell heading our way. This point break (the only game in town in this forecast) is exposed to the SW, and that’s exactly where the energy is coming from. The first proper action kicks off Monday morning the 17th with a clean 5ft SSW groundswell, period a meaty 14 seconds, and glassy conditions – that’s about as good as a start gets. The combined energy is high, sitting at 1076, so you’ll feel the push.
The real standout, though, is Wednesday morning the 19th. We’re looking at a 8ft SW swell with an 18-second period – that’s a long-period groundswell delivering serious power (3511 combined energy). The wind is glassy off the ESE, meaning it’s offshore for this spot. The wave faces will be lined up and clean. This is advanced territory at that size, and it’s not a beginner wave with that much juice. Because of the long period and point break setup, the waves will hold their shape beautifully, with long waits between sets. This is the best of the whole run.
Thursday the 20th keeps the quality high. Morning glass with a 10ft SW groundswell (4122 energy) is pure grunt for experienced surfers. The afternoon cleans up with a cross-off breeze and 8ft SW. Forget the crowds; on a wave this good, you’ll have company during the best windows.
From Friday the 21st onward, the windows get tighter. Mornings start to see cross-onshore winds messing with the surface, but Friday afternoon holds clean with a cross-off and a solid 8ft SW on a 17-second period. Saturday and Sunday (22nd and 23rd) see the wind turning cross-shore and the wave quality dropping from “excellent” to “marginal,” though there’s still plenty of swell around.
The second week turns into a waiting game. From Monday the 24th through to the end of the month, the wind is mostly cross-onshore, and the surf quality is consistently rated as marginal. There are a few moments – like early on the 25th with a smaller 5ft SSW – but the conditions aren’t clean enough to get excited about. The 28th morning has a brief shot of 8ft SW with offshore wind, but the wind state is listed as unknown, so you’d be rolling the dice.
The very end of the month into September 1st shows the swell dropping off in energy, with moderate breezes and cross-shore chop. Nothing to write home about there.
If you’ve got your sights set on Bondo Kodi, the standout period is Wednesday the 19th through Thursday the 20th. Get on it before the wind turns sour. For the rest of the window, you’ll be scratching for clean waves.
Stay salty, catch you in the water.
Rusty.
