Bondo Kodi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Bondo Kodi over the next 16 days.

Honestly, right out of the gate, it’s a bit of a slow burn. We’ve got swell running, but the wind is a hassle. The first few days are all cross-shore, which keeps things bumpy, and the surf is just sort of there. Friday the 17th kicks off with a 4ft SW swell, but it’s messy and the energy is high (1109), so it’s got power but no clean shape. This pattern sticks around for days. The water temp is sitting at 80°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The one standout that’s worth waiting for is Monday the 20th. The morning has a solid 6ft SW swell, with a long period of 17 seconds, and the wind is light and cross-shore. The energy is pumping (2240), so it’s got some serious grunt. This is a point break, so that long period groundswell will line up nicely. It’s big enough that beginners should steer clear, but for the advanced crew, this is the pick of the first week. That afternoon drops a little to 7ft, and the wind picks up a bit, so the morning session is the one.

The second week is less exciting. The swell drops off, and the wind stays stubbornly cross-shore. There’s a bit of a pulse around the 30th of July, with a 3ft SW swell and a very long 23-second period, but the energy is moderate (1437). That’s a weird one – that long period will make it tricky at the beach, but Bondo Kodi being a point could handle it. The real gem is further out on the 31st of July. We’ve got a 8ft SW swell in the morning, period at 19 seconds, and light cross-shore wind. The energy is massive (4125). That’s expert territory, and it’s pretty far out, so it’s a promising but less certain call. The first of August also has size, with 7ft, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s not as clean.

No big gaps of dead flat days, but plenty of marginal windows. The 20th of July is the clear winner, and the 31st is the long-range gamble.

Rusty.
