Bondo Kodi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at Bondo Kodi over the next couple of weeks. This is a point break that needs a good SW groundswell and offshore NE wind to really fire, and we’ve got a couple of windows that are gonna light it up. Water temp is 80° at the start – about bang on average for the time of year, so no wetsuit needed. The break is advanced and fairly consistent, and crowds are sometimes an issue, so get in early.

The first real standout hits Wednesday morning, July 15. The forecast shows a clean, glassy start with light S wind at 3 mph – dead offshore for this spot, so the surface will be like a mirror. Swell comes in from the SSW at 6 ft, period a solid 16 seconds – that’s proper long-period groundswell with plenty of push. Combined energy is strong at 1932. That morning is going to offer some real gem waves for experienced surfers. The afternoon turns cross-shore and marginal, so the morning is the call.

Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th are a mixed bag. Thursday morning has a light cross-onshore wind and lumpy conditions – still rideable but not as clean. Friday afternoon, however, is worth a look: clean cross-off breeze from the ESE at 9 mph, swell 5 ft from the SW with a 16-second period, combined energy 1224. That’s a solid afternoon session, though the waves will be a touch smaller than Wednesday.

The next real standout is Monday, July 20, in the afternoon. Clean cross-off ESE wind again at 9 mph, with a bigger swell – 7 ft from the SW, period 16 seconds, combined energy 2101. That’s a powerful groundswell that’ll wrap nicely into the point. The size is pushing into expert territory, but for the crew that can handle it, this is top-tier. The morning of the 20th has a similar swell at 7 ft but with cross-shore wind and marginal conditions, so target the afternoon.

After the 20th, things start to fade. Tuesday July 21 still has decent swell (7 ft morning, 6 ft afternoon) but the wind is more moderate cross-shore and eventually it gets choppy. By Wednesday July 22, rain showers and 12 mph cross-shore wind make it a write‑off, and from then on it’s mostly poor or marginal with lumpy cross-chop and dropping swell. There’s a brief glimmer on Wednesday morning July 29 – glassy SW wind at 3 mph, small 3 ft swell but with a very long 18-second period (combined energy 838). That’s a tiny but clean window for those who love long period lines, but it’s late in the window and the size is small.

Overall, the best two windows are Wednesday morning July 15 and Monday afternoon July 20. Both offer clean, offshore or near-offshore wind, solid groundswell, and good energy. The rest of the period is a mix of marginal conditions and poor surf, so make those days count.

Rusty out.
