Bondo Kodi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty checkin' in with a look at what's comin' down the line for Bondo Kodi. We gotta good run ahead of us, but you gotta pick your moments.

Alright, listen up. We got a solid stretch of groundswell rollin' in from the SW over the next couple weeks. It's a point break here at Bondo Kodi (point) and it's exposed to that swell, which is exactly what we want. The water temp is sittin' right on 79°, which is dead average for this time of year, nothing weird goin' on there.

Now, the real standout window, the one you gotta circle on your calendar, is the morning of Wednesday, August 19th. We are talkin' 8ft of pure SW groundswell with a super long 18-second period, and the combined energy is absolutely pumping at 3511 (strong). But the magic is the wind – dead calm. Glassy as a mirror. For an advanced spot like this, that is as good as it gets. The swell is sizable, so this is expert territory. That afternoon holds too, with 8ft and a clean cross-off breeze, but that morning glass-off is the crown jewel.

Leading up to that, Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th have some decent early windows. Monday morning gives you 5ft from the SSW and glassy conditions. Tuesday morning drops a bit to 4ft but stays glassy with that long 16-second period – a great session for a more mellow paddle. After that Wednesday peak, Thursday the 20th pushes up to 10ft in the morning, but it gets a bit cross-choppy. That size is getting pretty heavy, only for the seasoned crew.

Into the second week, the consistency is there but the quality takes a hit. Most mornings from Friday the 21st through the end of the month offer swell in the 5ft to 8ft range, but the wind is mostly cross or even onshore. There are some promising mornings, like Sunday the 30th with 7ft and light offshore wind, and Monday the 31st with 8ft and offshore breeze as well – those are your best bets for cleaner conditions, but the energy is still on the high side, so it's not for beginners.

A quick note on the long period swells. With periods hitting 17 and 18 seconds, that groundswell has serious push and will stand up nicely on this point. But at a point break, that long period is a beautiful thing, giving you those long, walling rides. Just be ready for longer waits between sets.

So, to wrap it up: the morning of Wednesday the 19th is your absolute standout. Get there. The mornings of Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th are great warm-ups. And if you're patient, keep an eye on the mornings of the 30th and 31st. The afternoons through this period are generally blown out or messy, so stick to the dawn patrol.

Rusty.
