Bondo Kodi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Bondo Kodi. This is a solid, consistent run of swell hitting a point break that’s got the right setup for a crew that knows what they’re doing. We’ve got a long stretch of waves coming, but you’re gonna have to pick your moments.

The first proper action kicks off Friday morning, July 31st. It’s clean, but the swell is a bit on the smaller side and the cross-shore wind is just okay. The real show starts to wake up on Saturday, August 1st. That morning, the wind goes glassy, and we’ve got a 4ft SSW swell rolling in with a long 16-second period. The combined energy is already pumping at 1303 (moderate to strong). It’s clean, has some push, and it’s only going to get better. Sunday morning, August 2nd, is dead calm with a 6ft SW swell, 16-second period, and energy jumping to 1675. That’s your standout window for the first week. The water temp is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Now, Bondo Kodi is a point break, and this long-period groundswell is perfect for it. The period is over 15 seconds, so you’ll get those long, clean lines. The trade-off is that it’s an advanced wave, and crowds can show up. If you’re not comfortable in a lineup, this isn’t your spot.

The swell keeps coming through the week, but the afternoons get chopped up by the sea breeze. The mornings are where it’s at. Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th both have glassy mornings with a 5ft to 6ft SSW swell. The energy dips a bit on Tuesday, but it’s still clean.

Then we hit a proper run of bigger, more powerful swell. From Thursday, August 6th, the swell jumps to 8ft, and the energy hits 3192 (strong). This is solid, expert territory. The wind is cross-shore, which keeps it rideable, but the mornings are still the best bet. This size continues right through to the 10th, with solid energy between 2205 and 2576. The wind is fair, but it’s a lot of water moving.

The second week brings a massive pulse. The real standout for the whole outlook is Friday, August 14th. The morning sees a 10ft SSW swell with a 19-second period, and the combined energy is a whopping 7716 (very strong). The wind is light and cross-onshore, but it’s glassy enough to be clean. This is a big, powerful groundswell. Saturday morning, August 15th, is also huge, with a 10ft swell and glassy conditions, energy at 4701. These are the days for the experienced crew only. Anything over 8ft is for experts.

One thing to keep in mind: the swell direction is SSW, and the optimum is SW, so it’s a little off-angle, but for a point, it still wraps in nicely. The energy is there.

So, the best on offer? Sunday morning, August 2nd, for the perfect combo of size, glass, and consistency. And for the big-wave hunters, Friday morning, August 14th, is the one to circle on the calendar. That’s a promise of a session you won’t forget.

Rusty.
