Bondo Kodi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it. We've got a solid run of surf coming up at Bondo Kodi, a point break that's exposed to the SW. The water's sitting at a warm 78°, which is just about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

The window opens up on Tuesday afternoon, the 25th of August, but it's a bit of a write-off. We've got a 6ft SW groundswell rolling in with a long 16-second period, packing a decent punch of energy (1470). But the wind is a cross-on from the SSE at 9 mph, making it choppy and hard to read. I'd give it a miss.

The real standout, the one you've been waiting for, is Wednesday morning, the 26th of August. The swell holds at 6ft from the SW, with a 14-second period, carrying a solid 1193 units of energy. But the magic is in the wind – it's glassy, dead calm. That means Bondo Kodi will be clean, smooth, and firing. It's an advanced break, so you'll need your wits about you, but the conditions will be excellent for experienced surfers. This is the pick of the bunch.

The rest of the week is a bit of a mixed bag. Wednesday afternoon the wind swings cross-shore, and Thursday morning sees a smaller 4ft swell with a shorter 12-second period, still with cross-shore wind. Not bad, but not the main event.

Friday the 28th sees a big pulse of energy, with an 8ft SW swell and a very long 17-second period, sending energy readings soaring up to 4343. That's powerful, but it's also big. For a point break, that long period will wrap in nicely, but with cross-on winds, it'll be a battle. This is one for the experts only.

The following weekend, Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th, the swell drops back. Saturday morning has a clean 7ft swell with offshore WSW wind, making for some good, powerful waves. But by the afternoon, the wind picks up. Sunday is smaller again, around 5ft.

We then have a bit of a lull in standout conditions through the early part of the following week, with the swell sitting around 4ft to 5ft and the wind often on the wrong side of the compass. The energy is still there, but the quality is marginal.

Looking ahead to the start of September, there's promising signs. The swell builds back to 7ft on Tuesday the 1st, and then to 7ft on Wednesday the 2nd, with a long 17-second period. The winds are light, though mostly cross or cross-on, so it won't be a classic, but it'll be a lot better than the choppy days.

The real standout in the second week shows up on Wednesday afternoon, the 9th of September. We're looking at a solid 10ft SSW swell, with an 18-second period, and a massive 4850 units of energy. That's a serious groundswell. The wind is a light cross-shore breeze from the SE at 6 mph, so it could be surprisingly clean for such a big swell. This is a long-range forecast, so keep an eye on it, but it has the potential to be the biggest day of the period. That's purely for the brave.

Overall, Wednesday morning the 26th is your best bet for a clean, manageable session. If you're after power and size, keep an eye on the 9th of September.

Rusty.
