Bondo Kodi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Bondo Kodi has got cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a decent run of building swell coming in from the south-west, and the water temp is sitting right on the money at 80° — pretty standard for this time of year, no surprises there.

Right out of the gate, Tuesday is the pick of the first week. Tuesday morning sees a solid 8ft SW groundswell, with a very long 18-second period. That's proper energy, pushing 3219 (moderate to strong) and the wind is light out of the SSE. It's cross, sure, but super light, so the surface should be okay. You’ll feel the grunt in those lines, and for an advanced crew on a point break like this, it's a real treat. The afternoon cleans up even more, going cross-off with a gentle breeze, dropping a touch to 7ft but with even more power at 4070. This spot can get a crowd sometimes, so get in early.

Wednesday drops a bit. The morning is a cross-on 8ft, still long period at 17 seconds, but that onshore touch will put little bumps on it. It’s not horrible, but not the gem Tuesday was. Thursday and Friday see the swell ease back under 7ft, and the wind gets a bit messy in the afternoons, so focus on the mornings when the breeze is lighter.

Over the weekend and into the start of the next week, the swell stays in the 6ft to 7ft range, but it's all coming from the SSW, and most afternoons get chopped up by a moderate cross-shore. The mornings are your best bet, with light breezes, but the quality is just marginal.

Now, if you can hold out, pay attention to Wednesday the 16th of September. That morning is the real sleeper. The forecast shows a glassy 7ft groundswell from the SW with a nice 15-second period. The wind is dead calm, glass, out of the SW. That’s the kind of morning where the point just turns on, silky clean. It’s the standout of the whole run, but it’s a long way off, so keep an eye on the forecast. The afternoon gets a touch messy again, but that morning window is the one.

So, overall: hit Tuesday this week for the biggest, longest energy, or bank on that glassy Wednesday morning next week for perfection. The rest is mostly morning missions with average conditions.

Rusty, signing off.
