The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a long window ahead, but the first few days are a bit of a write-off. Monday the 27th through to the end of July are looking pretty average to poor. The swell is there, but it’s short period, messy cross-shore winds, and the energy is just not lining up. Things start to get interesting on the 2nd of August.
The standout is Bondo Kodi, a point break that needs a south-west swell to really get going. Because it’s a point, those long period swells will wrap in nicely, and we’ve got a couple of truly excellent sessions lined up.
On the morning of Sunday the 2nd of August, that’s the pick of the whole run. The water is 79°, which is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. We’ll have a clean 6ft swell from the south-west, with a 16-second period – that’s proper groundswell. The wind is light cross-offshore, just a slight air, making it clean. The combined energy is up at 1926 (moderate to strong), so there’s real power. This is a session for experienced surfers though – 6ft on a point with that much energy is not for the faint-hearted. Watch out for crowds, because this spot can get busy.
Then Monday the 3rd of August morning is another gem. Glassy conditions, 6ft south-west swell, 16-second period, and the combined energy is 1590. It’s a touch less powerful than Sunday, but glassy winds make it dreamy. Same story – it’s for the advanced crew.
Tuesday the 4th of August morning also has glassy conditions, with a 6ft south-west swell, 15-second period, and energy of 1249. Another solid morning for the experienced surfer.
After the 5th, the swell hangs around but the winds get a bit more cross-shore, and the quality drops off. The 6th of August sees a bump to 7ft, but it’s cross-onshore, so it’s not the same standard. There’s a big run of marginal conditions from the 6th right through to the 11th, with surf still in the 5ft to 8ft range, but the wind is never quite right. The 10th of August morning has a 5ft south-west swell, but it’s cross-onshore, so it’s just okay.
Summing it up: the first week is a wash. Your best bet is the morning of the 2nd of August, with the 3rd and 4th of August mornings also being very good. The rest of the second week is more for the die-hards or those who don’t mind a bit of chop.
Rusty.

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.
