The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next few weeks. This forecast is all about one spot: Bondo Kodi. It’s a point break, exposed to the SW swell, so when the direction lines up, it can really fire. For the next few days, it’s a bit of a tease. We’ve got some solid long-period groundswell coming in – that 16-second swell from the SSW has real grunt, with the wave energy building from moderate (573) right up to strong (1240) by Thursday afternoon. But the problem is the wind. It’s coming from the SE or SSE pretty much all day, putting it into a cross-shore or cross-onshore position. That’s going to mess up the surface with a cross-chop and wind ripples, so the conditions are marginal and the scores reflect that – it’s not really worth paddling out for a good wave.
That all changes on Saturday, August 1st. The wind is set to drop right off in the morning, going glassy with a calm. The swell is a clean 4 ft from the SSW at 16 seconds. The wave energy is strong at 1301. The conditions here are set up for some excellent surf for experienced surfers. This is your window. The Sunday morning, August 2nd, looks just as good – glassy again, a slight air, with the swell bumping up to 6 ft from the SW, and a very strong wave energy of 1689.
We get a run of clean mornings through to Tuesday, August 4th, with light offshore winds or glassy conditions, keeping the swell clean at about 5 ft. The water temp for the first one of these is 79°, which is basically bang on average for this time of year, so no worries about a wetsuit. This spot is a point break, and with a period hanging around 14-16 seconds, the waves should have plenty of shape and power, though the sets might be a bit wider apart.
Then for the second week, it really cranks up. Thursday, August 6th, the swell hits 7 ft. By the morning of Saturday, August 8th, we’re looking at a solid 8 ft of SSW groundswell with a 16-second period, and glassy conditions. The wave energy is through the roof at 3501. This is big, powerful stuff – strictly for expert surfers only. The point break setup will handle that long-period energy well, giving proper open-face waves. The mornings are the ticket; the afternoons get a little wind-affected. The swell stays big through to the start of the following week, but the wind picks up to a moderate cross-shore chop, making it a bit lumpy.
Overall, the standout sessions are the glassy mornings from August 1st through the 4th for solid, clean, intermediate-to-advanced waves, and then the big, powerful, glassy mornings from August 6th to the 8th for the experts out there. There’s a soft start to the period, but once that swell and wind line up, Bondo Kodi is going to be the place to be.

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.
