The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a solid 16-day window on the cards, and the main event is a classic point break set-up that’s gonna demand your attention. It’s a bit of a slow burn to start, but the second half of the run has some serious potential.
The standout for the whole period is Bondo Kodi, a proper advanced point break. It’s fairly consistent, which is a good sign. The first bit of quality action kicks off on Sunday morning, August 23rd. We’re looking at a clean 7 ft SSW groundswell with a very long 15-second period. The wind is glassy, coming from the WSW at just 3 mph. This is what you’re after. The water temp is about average for this time of year. The combined energy is strong at 2077, so there’s plenty of push. This is top-tier stuff for experienced surfers.
The rest of that Sunday afternoon and Monday get a bit cross-chop, so don’t expect the same magic. The swell hangs around, but the wind turns SSE and picks up, making things a little messy.
Now, the real punch comes in on Friday morning, August 28th. The swell jumps to a solid 10 ft from the SW, with a 17-second period. That’s a big, powerful groundswell. The wind is onshore but light, so it could be workable for the experts. The combined energy is a massive 4856, which is very strong. This is big, serious surf. Because it’s a point break, that long period will wrap in nicely, but at 10 ft, this is strictly for the experienced crew only. It’s a short window though, as the afternoon gets chopped up by a 12 mph southerly.
The swell stays in the 7 ft to 8 ft range through the end of August and into the first week of September. The mornings on Wednesday, September 3rd and Saturday, September 5th offer the best chance of clean conditions, with light onshore or offshore winds and a 6 ft to 6 ft SW swell. The energy is moderate to strong during this period.
The second week has some more 5 ft to 6 ft SW swell, but the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore. It’s still surfable, but the standout days are definitely the first Sunday and that big Friday.
Bottom line: If you’re an experienced surfer, don’t miss the morning of August 23rd for clean, glassy perfection. And for the big-wave hunters, August 28th morning is your window for some serious power. The rest of the time is a mixed bag, but there’s always something to ride.
Rusty.

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.
