The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty.
We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead at Bondo Kodi, and the first surfable day kicks off Saturday the 22nd of August. The pattern sets in with a chunky, long-period SSW groundswell that hangs around for the opening few days, then pulses back up later in the period. The real standout mornings come early and late, when the wind lays down to glassy or near-clean. This is an advanced point break, so it handles the big stuff well, but it’s for experienced surfers only. Water temp is sitting at 79°, which is about average for this time of year, so no wetsuit worries.
Saturday 22 August is the go. The morning serves up a clean 7ft SSW swell at a super-long 16 second period, and the wind is glassy out of the SSW at only 3 mph. The combined swell energy is pumping at 2557. That’s a serious amount of power, but the point setup should keep the lines tidy. Surf is excellent for advanced crew, and with that long period you’ll get long, grinding walls with plenty of time between sets to paddle back out. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
Saturday afternoon the wind swings slightly cross-on, and the surf drops off in quality. Sunday morning 23 August is another cracker – glassy again, 7ft SSW swell at 15 seconds, energy sitting at 2112. It’s a touch smaller but still a beautiful, clean session. After that, the wind turns messy Sunday afternoon and into Monday, with cross-shore breezes and a cross-chop making things average.
Tuesday 1 September is the second real standout. The morning shows 8ft SW swell at 18 seconds, energy at 3521 – but the wind is cross, so it’s a bit average. The afternoon though, Tuesday 1 September, cleans right up with a light cross-offshore breeze from the ESE at 9 mph. The swell bumps to 8ft, period still a long 18 seconds, and the energy jumps to 3892. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers, clean and powerful. It’s the best call in the second week.
Wednesday 2 September afternoon also looks clean, with 8ft SW swell and cross-off wind – a solid backup.
The end of the period fades out. By Saturday 5 September, wave heights drop to under 3ft, and the energy is weak (475). A little pulse shows again on Sunday 6 September with 7ft SSW swell at 17 seconds, but the wind is howling cross at 16 mph, making it messy and poor for paddle surfing. That setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than riding a surfboard.
Overall, lock in Saturday 22 August morning and Tuesday 1 September afternoon. The rest is a mix of clean windows and blown-out afternoons.
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.

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.
