The Lowdown
Alright, my friends, Rusty here, breaking down the Bondo Kodi forecast.
First things first, the water temp is a normal 79°F for this time of year, so nothing to worry about there. The first few days are a bit of a dud. Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th are only offering marginal surf, with messy cross-shore winds and some short-period swell that just won't line up. You'll be battling the chop for not much payoff. The wave energy is still moderate to strong (these numbers aren't in feet, but the energy is real), but the quality is low.
The real deal starts Wednesday the 19th and runs through the weekend. Wednesday morning delivers a clean 8ft SW groundswell with an 18-second period – that's a proper long-period groundswell. The wind is a light offshore from the ENE, so it's clean. The afternoon holds steady with 8ft SW swell, still clean. These are the days for the point to start firing.
Thursday the 20th is the absolute standout. We get a glassy morning with a 10ft SW swell and a 16-second period. That's a very strong, big, powerful swell. This is going to be a serious, heavy session. At nearly 10 feet, this is for experts only. The afternoon backs off a touch to 8ft but stays clean. Friday the 21st gives you a clean 8ft afternoon session, and Saturday the 22nd morning throws in a glassy 8ft.
After that, the quality fades. The swell hangs around at 6 to 7 feet, but the wind turns onshore, making it choppy and marginal through the end of the month.
Looking ahead, the 28th of August has a glassy 7ft SW morning – a solid option. Then the 30th of August is another good one: a glassy morning with 6ft SW, and a clean afternoon with 7ft SW and cross-off winds. The first of September brings a big 8ft SW swell but with a moderate cross-shore wind, making it a messy, expert-only prospect.
Bottom line: the absolute best is Thursday the 20th of August – a massive, clean, glassy 10ft SW swell. Wednesday the 19th and Friday the 21st are also top-tier. Get out there!
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.
