Bondo Kodi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the surf coming up for Bondo-Kodi. This is a solid, exposed point break that’s known for handling a good SW swell, and we’ve got a long run of it coming in. The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

The general pattern is one of consistent, solid swell from the SW, with a whole lot of energy in the water. We’re talking about wave energy readings often in the thousands (like 1142 to 4083), meaning there’s a lot of power behind these waves. This isn’t a beginner’s playground; once the swell gets over 5 feet, it’s getting serious, and when it hits 8 feet, it’s expert-only territory. The good news is that the period is long, often 14 to 18 seconds, which is proper groundswell. That gives you long, powerful lines that wrap around the point, which is exactly where this break shines.

The standout window is clear. Saturday morning, August 8th is the pick of the early run. The wind is glassy, dead calm, and you’ve got a solid 8-foot swell from the SSW with a 16-second period. The wave energy is pumping at 3062. That’s a serious session for advanced surfers, with clean, powerful walls. It’s a big day, so only the experienced crew should be out there.

Then, we have a bit of a lull in quality through the middle of the week, with onshore winds chopping things up. But look ahead to the second week. Thursday morning, August 13th, is another beauty. The wind is calm again, glassy, with a 6-foot SSW swell at 16 seconds (energy 1508). It’s a bit smaller than the earlier peak, but it’ll be absolutely clean. The winds stay favorable through the afternoon, going cross-offshore, making for a long, clean session.

The final big hurrah is Tuesday morning, August 18th. This is a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but it’s looking promising. Another glassy morning, with an 8-foot swell from the SW and a 17-second period. The energy is massive at 4083. This is a powerful, heavy swell, and the conditions are set up to be perfect for it. Again, this is for the experts.

A word of caution: this spot can get crowded, and it’s fairly consistent, so you’ll have company when the conditions are good. The long-period swells mean the sets will be more spaced out, making the paddle out easier, but the waves themselves will be powerful and fast.

So, to sum it up: the best of the best is the glassy morning of Saturday, August 8th, with a close second on Thursday, August 13th. The long-range promise of Tuesday, August 18th is one to have on your calendar, but it’s a wait-and-see for now.

Rusty.
