The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
It's a slow start for this stretch, with a solid run of average-to-poor conditions before things start to look up. We're gonna have to be patient.
The first few days are a write-off. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th are looking rough with cross-shore winds and lumpy, poor surf. Saturday the 25th isn't much better, with a brief window of clean conditions but a weak, short-period swell (8 seconds) and only about 3 ft of surf on offer. The wave energy is moderate at best, around 598 to 886 (moderate energy). Not worth paddling out for. From Sunday the 26th through Tuesday the 29th, it's all poor surf with more cross-shore chop and messy conditions. The swells stay small and weak, and the winds are a problem.
Now, there's a glimmer on the horizon. From Friday the 31st of July into the first week of August, things start to change. The key moment? Saturday morning, the 1st of August. That's the window to lock in.
The standout for the entire outlook is Bondo Kodi on Saturday morning, the 1st of August. We've got a solid 5 ft swell from the SW, with a long period of 17 seconds. That’s groundswell energy, and it’s pumping with strong moderate wave energy (1309). The wind? Completely glassy – dead calm. That's about as good as it gets for a clean line-up. The water temp is about average for this time of year. It’s an advanced break, and with that 5 ft swell, it’s right in the sweet spot for experienced surfers. Get on it.
Sunday morning, the 2nd of August, is another cracker. We’re looking at 7 ft from the SW with a 16-second period. The wind is glassy again (very strong wave energy at 2011). This is a bigger, more powerful wave, so only for the experts. If you can handle it, it’ll be the best wave of the trip. Monday the 3rd follows suit with 6 ft and glassy conditions in the morning (very strong energy at 2552). The pattern holds. Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th still have excellent conditions, but the winds turn a bit onshore. The surf will still be good, but not as perfect as the weekend. Thursday the 6th looks marginal again, with a strong cross-onshore wind.
So the bottom line: If you want the best surf, circle Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd of August on your calendar. The 5 ft to 7 ft SW groundswell, combined with glassy mornings, is about as good as it gets at Bondo Kodi. The later days in the first week of August are still worth a look, but the wind gets a little tricky. The early part of the forecast is a write-off.
