Bondo Kodi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here with the imperial version. Let's get into it.

Overall, we've got a solid run of swell coming, but the wind's going to be a factor. The real standout is undoubtedly this Saturday morning, July 11th. The wait is over. We're looking at a clean 6ft SW groundswell, period around 15 seconds, and the wind is glassy out of the south. That's premium quality. The water's sitting at a warm 81°, which is about average for the time of year, so no need for a thick wetsuit. The combined energy is pumping at 1276 (moderate to strong), so there's plenty of push. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers, so don't be a hero if you're not ready. It's a point break that's fairly consistent, and with the offshore being NE, this spot handles it perfectly. Keep in mind, crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get in early.

Saturday afternoon, the wind swings to a light cross-onshore, and the quality drops off. The morning is the clear winner.

Sunday the 12th starts with glassy conditions again, but the swell has dropped to 4ft. Still a fun size, and the energy is moderate (561), but it's not the same punch as Saturday. Monday morning the 13th sees a tiny 3ft glassy wave, but it's more of a cruiser.

Now, things get interesting again. Tuesday the 14th brings a bigger SSW swell, pushing 6ft but with a very long period of 18 seconds. The energy jumps to 1808 (strong), but the wind is a light cross-onshore, so it's not as clean as we'd like. That powerful, long-period groundswell will be lining up nicely at this point break, but expect some texture on the face.

Wednesday the 15th holds the size, with 7ft of SSW swell, but the wind stays cross-shore, keeping it a bit lumpy. The energy is 2112 (strong). This is a big, powerful swell for the experts.

The real looker for the second week, though, is Monday the 20th of July. We've got a solid 8ft to 8ft SSW groundswell with a 17-second period. The combined energy is way up at 3378 to 3504 (very strong). This is a serious, powerful groundswell. The wind is a gentle cross-shore, so it's not perfect, but the size and period will make for some heavy, long walls at this point. This is for experts only, as it's over 8ft. It's a promising, if a little uncertain, long-range call.

After that, we've got a few days of smaller, glassy mornings on the 22nd and 26th of July, with 4ft to 4ft of clean swell. The 25th of July Saturday afternoon looks good too, with 5ft SSW swell and clean cross-offshore wind. That's a solid way to finish the outlook.

The rest of the days are mostly marginal with onshore or cross-shore winds, so pick your windows carefully.

Rusty.
