The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at the next couple of weeks for Bondo Kodi. It’s a point break, exposed to the southwest, so it’s picky about direction. The water’s sittin’ around 80° – pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, really. The first few days are all cross-shore winds and only small stuff pushin’ through. The real story starts to build from Monday the 20th of July. That morning we see a jump in size to 6 ft from the SW, with a 17-second period – that’s proper groundswell. The combined energy is strong at 2337, but the wind’s cross-onshore, which puts a bit of a chop on it. The afternoon cleans right up though, with a light cross-offshore breeze, still 7 ft from the SW and a 16-second period. Energy’s still very strong at 2065. That’s the standout session for the first week – clean, solid, and the point will be reeling.
Now, there’s a couple of other moments worth a mention. The morning of Saturday the 25th of July brings a 7 ft swell, but it’s from the SE with a short 8-second period. That’s weak windswell, full of chop, and the combined energy is a moderate 1227. Not the same quality as the earlier SW groundswell. The 27th of July has a monster 20-second period SSW swell in the afternoon, but the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-shore, so it’ll be lumpy and hard to surf.
The real standout, the one you’d be a fool to miss, is that Monday afternoon the 20th of July. 7 ft of SW groundswell, 16-second period, with clean conditions from a light cross-offshore breeze. The point will be workin’ beautifully. After that, it’s a bit of a mixed bag until the 31st of July and 1st of August, where we see another pulse of strong SW groundswell with 19-second and 17-second periods, and energy readings over 2400. But the wind stays cross-shore, never quite glassy. Keep an eye on that first week of August though – the 31st of July morning and the 1st of August morning both look promising with solid size and moderate winds, but the wind direction is the key. If it backs off to light offshore, it’ll be epic.
Crowds can turn up here sometimes, especially on a clean, solid day. The spot is fairly consistent, so it’s not a rare event, but that 7 ft SW groundswell with light offshore is a rare combo. For the beginners, any swell over 5 ft is gonna be a handful, and over 8 ft is expert-only. This isn’t that big, but the long period will make it powerful and sucky on the point.
So, in short: the second half of the 16-day window has the most potential, but the best bet is the afternoon of the 20th of July. That’s the one. After that, the 31st of July and 1st of August have solid energy but need the wind to play nice.
Rusty.

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.
