The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the only spot in the mix for the next 16 days: Bondo Kodi. It’s a point break, expert territory, pulls in SW groundswell. Water temp is right around average for this time of year.
First real action hits Wednesday morning, 26 August. Glassy start with a 6ft SW swell at 14 seconds – that’s proper groundswell, no junk. Combined energy at 1193 (moderate, but solid). Wind is glass from the SW, so it’s clean as a whistle. This is a standout for experienced surfers only – 6ft on a point with that period will give you long, powerful lines. Crowds are sometimes around, so be sharp.
Wednesday afternoon goes cross-on, chop ruins it.
Thursday 27 August: swell drops to 4ft, 12 seconds, cross-shore wind – messy.
Friday 28 August: swell jumps to 8ft, 17 seconds – long-period groundswell, energy at 4343, strong. That’s big, expert-only. Light cross-on wind from the west, so there’s a little texture, but the size is for chargers. The long period means it’ll line up on the point, but it can close out if you’re off.
The rest of the first week into early September: swell bounces between 4ft and 7ft, with mostly cross-on or cross-shore winds. Some mornings are glassy but the swell’s small and the tide’s not playing ball.
Monday morning 7 September: 6ft, 14 seconds, light cross-on wind from the SSW – worth a look, but not the best.
Tuesday afternoon, 8 September: the swell drops to 3ft, but it’s a 20-second period SW groundswell – that’s very long period. Wind goes cross-off from the ESE, and the wave comment says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” Energy is 1278 (moderate). On a point, those long-period lines will be absolute beauties – small but perfect. This is a true standout for the dialled surfer.
Wednesday morning 9 September: 7ft, 17 seconds, but cross-shore wind from the SE – lumpy.
Thursday morning 10 September: 8ft, 17 seconds, light cross-on from the south, energy at 3892 (strong). Expert-only, big, powerful, and the light wind might hold it together. A charger’s late-window highlight.
So, the best are Wednesday morning 26 August for the clean 6ft groundswell, and Tuesday afternoon 8 September for the small-but-perfect long-period lines. The rest is a mix of size and chop – pick your mornings.
Rusty, out.

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.
