The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a patchy run of surf coming up at Bondo Kodi, with some real gems hidden in there if you’re patient and pick your moments. The water’s sittin’ at a warm 79°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real standout is the Saturday morning of the 29th of August. It’s a beauty, with a solid 7 ft SW groundswell rollin’ in with a long 16-second period. The energy is pumping at 2178 (moderate to strong), and the wind is glassy, off the WSW at just 3 mph. That’s a recipe for clean, powerful lines at this advanced point break. The swell direction is bang on the optimum SW, so you’ll get those long, drawn-out walls. Just be aware, it’s a spot for experienced surfers, and crowds can show up sometimes, but with conditions this good, it’s worth the company.
The Sunday morning of the 31st of August is another cracker, though a bit smaller. You’ve got a 4 ft SW swell, but with a very long 19-second period – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is still 1399 (moderate), and it’s glassy again with a light SW wind. That long period means the waves will be fat and powerful, perfect for the point setup. It’s a bit more forgiving in size, but the power is still there for the experienced crew.
Looking further out, the Monday morning of the 7th of September is a solid call. Similar story: 6 ft SSW swell, clean and glassy with a 3 mph wind from the S. The energy is 1227 (moderate), and the glassy conditions will make it a dream. The swell direction is good, and you’ll get some nice, clean lines.
Then there’s a bit of a wildcard on the Thursday afternoon of the 10th of September. The swell is 6 ft from the SSW, with a 16-second period, and the wind shifts to a clean cross-off from the ESE at 9 mph. The energy is 1571 (moderate), and it’s described as clean – that’s a rare treat for the afternoon. It’s a good option if you can get out of work early.
For the rest of the window, the mornings are your best bet because the wind tends to be lighter. The afternoons often get a stiff cross-shore or cross-onshore breeze that messes with the surface. There’s a big gap of poor or marginal conditions from the 4th to the 6th of September, so don’t bother with that stretch.
The second week has some promising long-range looks, particularly the Saturday morning of the 12th of September with a 8 ft SW swell and a 16-second period, but the wind is a light cross-on, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. The Sunday morning of the 13th of September is similar, with a 8 ft SW swell and a light crosswind, but it’s not as clean. Those are more for the die-hards than the clean-sheet days.
Overall, the best on offer is the Saturday morning of the 29th of August, with the Monday morning of the 31st of August a close second. Both are in the first week, so you’ve got a clear window to get out there. For the rest, it’s a pick-and-choose game, but the point break at Bondo Kodi will handle the size and power well.
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.
