The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s break down what’s coming for Bondo Kodi.
We’ve got a solid stretch of surf starting right from Thursday morning. The pattern is a long run of SSW groundswell with a lot of energy behind it. Water temp is about 79°F, which is normal for this time of year.
Thursday 13 August kicks things off. Early morning is glassy, clean 6ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, and the combined energy is strong at 1708. That’s excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon gets cross-shore with a 12 mph breeze, and it falls apart.
Friday 14 August is mostly a wash. Cross-on wind all day, swell drops a bit. Not worth paddling out.
Saturday 15 August morning is a real highlight. Glassy again, 6ft SSW swell, but the period jumps to 17 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. Energy is 1834. For a point break, that long period means long, clean lines. Afternoon gets choppy.
Sunday 16 August is decent but not perfect. Good swell, but cross-on wind in the morning, cross-shore in the arvo.
Monday 17 August morning is glassy with a 5ft SSW swell, 14-second period, energy at 957. Clean but smaller. Afternoon goes cross-shore.
Tuesday 18 August morning is tricky – light cross-on wind, a very long 21-second period, but only 3ft of swell. Energy is high at 2110 though. Afternoon picks up to 6ft with a 16-second period and light cross-shore wind, energy at 2745. Could be a sneaky good session.
Wednesday 19 August morning sees the swell building to 8ft from the SW with an 18-second period and offshore wind. Energy is 3175. That’s big. Afternoon hits 8ft. Experts only.
Thursday 20 August is the big one. Morning is glassy, 10ft SW swell, 16-second period, energy at a massive 4294. Huge, powerful groundswell with glass. That’s as good as it gets for experienced surfers. The afternoon gets messy.
After that, the swell stays solid but the wind is less kind through to the end of the month. Friday 21 August and Saturday 22 August are 7ft to 8ft with cross-on or cross-shore winds. Still good for experts.
Sunday 23 August morning is glassy again, 7ft SSW swell, 14-second period, energy 1698. Clean and solid.
Monday 24 August morning – glassy, 6ft SW swell, 15-second period, energy 1415. Another beauty.
Then Wednesday 26 August morning shows 10ft SW swell with an 18-second period and offshore wind. Energy is a staggering 6166. That’s extreme. Only for the most experienced. Afternoon gets cross-shore and messy.
Thursday 27 August and Friday 28 August taper off, swell dropping to 8ft and then 6ft, but wind is cross-on or strong cross-shore, so quality drops.
The standout is Thursday 20 August morning – 10ft, 16-second SW groundswell, glassy, massive energy. Circle that date. The Saturday 15 August and Monday 24 August mornings are also top-tier with clean glass and quality swell. For the second week, Wednesday 26 August morning is a monster, but only for the brave.
Expect crowds at Bondo Kodi on the good mornings – it’s a well-known spot.

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.

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.
