The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.
Alright, so for the next 16 days, Bondo Kodi is the only show in town, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag. We’re looking at a solid run of SW groundswell, but the wind is mostly going to be a problem. The real standout is going to be Monday afternoon, the 20th of July. That’s the one to circle on the calendar.
The swell is building nicely on the Monday morning, with a 6ft SW groundswell already rolling in, but it’s still a bit messy with a light cross-shore. Then Monday afternoon, it cleans right up. The wind swings a touch more offshore, we get a clean 7ft SW groundswell (combined energy of 2094 – that’s a solid, surfable punch), and the period is a long 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy. For an advanced spot like this, with the optimum direction being SW, this is lining up perfectly. The water is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there – just a wetsuit job.
Now, Bondo Kodi is a powerful point break, so that long-period swell (over 15 seconds) will be holding up nicely, drawing down the line with heaps of push. Just be aware, it’s a fairly consistent spot but crowds are sometimes a factor, so you might have a few others with the same idea.
The first few days are a write-off, honestly. The wind is cross or cross-shore all through Friday the 17th through Sunday the 19th, making for bumpy, choppy waves. The swell is there, around 4ft to 5ft, but it’s just not worth battling the chop. By Tuesday the 21st, the wind picks up again, so that Monday afternoon window is really the only clean session in the first week.
Into the second week, things get a bit more hopeful but less certain. The 25th of July (Saturday) has a chance of clean conditions with a 6ft short-period SSE swell, though the combined energy is lower. Then on the 31st of July (Friday) and into the 1st of August (Saturday), we see a very long-period SW swell building again. The 1st of August morning has a 7ft SW swell with a 20-second period and combined energy of 4163 – that’s strong and very deep. The wind is light and cross-shore. It’s a promising but distant call. That session is going to be a powerful, roping point break wave, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the charts.
The rest of the time is a mess of cross-shore winds and chop. If you’re a beginner, be careful – anything over 5ft here is a handful, and when it’s over 8ft, it’s for experts only. Honestly, when the wind is up and the swell is strong, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
