The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here.
We’ve got a solid stretch of surf coming up at Bondo Kodi, a point break that handles a SW swell. The water’s sitting at 78°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The action kicks off on Thursday morning, August 27th, with a 4 ft SSW swell at 12 seconds. It’s not huge, but the energy is already moderate (1108). The wind is light from the west, so it’s a bit cross-on, but it’s manageable. The wave quality is only marginal, though, so don’t expect perfection. The afternoon drops to 4 ft, but the period stretches to a very long 15 seconds, pushing energy up to 1490. Still, the wind swings more southerly and stays cross-on, so it’s average.
Friday morning, August 28th, is where things start to get interesting. The swell jumps to 8 ft from the SW, with a 17-second period – that’s a proper groundswell. The energy is strong (4090), but the wind is still light and cross-on from the west. The afternoon holds the same size but the wind picks up from the SSE at 9 mph, making it choppy.
Now, Saturday morning, August 29th, is the standout. The swell is 7 ft from the SW, with a 16-second period, and the wind is glassy – dead calm from the WSW. The energy is strong (2185), and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. That’s the one to aim for. The afternoon sees the wind swing to the SSE at 12 mph, turning it cross-shore and messy.
Sunday, August 30th, drops to 5 ft, with a 13-second period. The morning has a light onshore breeze from the SW, but it’s not great. The afternoon is a write-off with a 12 mph cross-shore from the SE.
Monday morning, August 31st, is another highlight. The swell is 4 ft, but the period is a very long 19 seconds – that’s a long groundswell, and it’s glassy from the SSW. The energy is moderate (1423), and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon will get messy again with a 12 mph cross-shore.
Tuesday, September 1st, brings a 7 ft SW swell at 18 seconds, with a light cross-on wind in the morning. Energy is strong (3066). The afternoon stays similar but with a cross-shore wind.
Wednesday, September 2nd, holds 8 ft at 17 seconds, but the wind is onshore in the morning and cross-shore in the afternoon. It’s all a bit lumpy.
From Thursday, September 3rd, the swell slowly drops. You’ll see 6 ft on Thursday, then 4 ft by Friday, September 4th, with a 14-second period and moderate energy (784). The wind is light and onshore in the morning, but the afternoon is blown out with a 16 mph cross-shore.
The second week is a bit of a mixed bag. Saturday, September 5th, through Monday, September 7th, sees 6 ft to 6 ft swell from the SW, with periods around 14 seconds. Energy is moderate (1100-1300). The winds are light and cross-shore, so it’s not clean, but it’s surfable. Crowds are possible here, so keep that in mind.
By Tuesday, September 8th, the swell drops to 5 ft, then 4 ft on Wednesday, September 9th. The period shortens, and energy fades. The afternoon of the 9th is a weird one – 2 ft but an 18-second period, which is a long groundswell but tiny. The energy is still moderate (760), but the wind is a 12 mph cross-shore, so it’s a mess.
Thursday, September 10th, sees a bump back to 6 ft at 16 seconds, but the wind is cross-on and choppy. Friday, September 11th, finishes the run with 6 ft at 15 seconds and light cross-on winds. Nothing special.
For the best of the lot, aim for Saturday morning, August 29th, with that glassy 7 ft SW swell, or Monday morning, August 31st, with the glassy 4 ft, 19-second groundswell.
Rusty.

Information about the Bondo Kodi Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Bondo Kodi provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Bondo Kodi can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Bondo Kodi surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Bondo Kodi) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Bondo Kodi may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
