Bondo Kodi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let's see what we've got cooking.

The only spot on the menu for this stretch is Bondo Kodi. It's an advanced point break that breaks fairly consistently, so you know it'll usually give something up. Water temp is about 79°F, which is dead on average for this time of year.

We kick off on Thursday, August 6th. Morning brings a 7ft SSW swell, but the wind is cross-on, so it's messy. The energy is strong though, at 2672. The afternoon cleans up with a cross-off wind and the swell goes to 7ft from the SW, period at 17 seconds. A proper groundswell starting to line up.

Friday the 7th keeps the size, with 8ft SSW in the morning, but again that cross-on wind messes it up. The afternoon hits 8ft, but the wind goes cross-shore and brings some chop. Lots of power though, energy at 3245.

Saturday the 8th is much the same story: 8ft SSW swell, but the wind is not your friend. Morning is a light cross-on, afternoon gets a moderate cross-shore chop.

Here's your first real highlight: Sunday the 9th of August, morning. The swell is a solid 8ft from the SSW at 16 seconds, and the wind goes light and cross-off. The report says it's clean. This is the call for the first week – a long-period groundswell with clean conditions at a point break. It'll be organized and punchy.

The rest of that week and into the next is a grind. Swell hangs between 5ft and 8ft, but the winds are mostly cross or onshore, keeping the surface bumpy. There's a real dog of a session on the afternoon of the 10th: 8ft swell with a moderate cross-onshore wind – total chop, stay out of the water.

The energy bounces around from a moderate 1132 right up to a strong 3990.

We get a build-up around the 19th of August with a 8ft SW swell and light cross-on wind. But the true standout, the one you need to circle on your calendar, is Friday the 21st of August. The morning is looking world-class. A massive 10ft SSW groundswell with an 18-second period and glassy conditions. The combined energy is a huge 6268, that's serious power. The report calls it exceptional for expert surfers. This is a very long-period groundswell at an advanced point break with no wind – it'll be clean, heavy, and perfect. The afternoon stays big at 10ft but the wind swings onshore and brings the chop.

So, for the whole outlook, it's two sessions that really stand out: Sunday the 9th morning, and that absolute beast on Friday the 21st morning.

Rusty.
