The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer at Playa Bonfil.
The water is running a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at about 88°, so you’ll be fine in boardshorts or a spring suit at most.
The first chance to surf comes Monday afternoon with a 2ft SSW swell, but there’s a risk of thunderstorms and a light south wind, so it’s a bit messy. Not the best kick-off.
Tuesday morning, August 4th, is clean and glassy. A 2ft SSW swell with a light northeast breeze and moderate energy (233). Good for a session.
Wednesday morning, August 5th, brings offshore winds from the NNE, 2ft SW swell, and a 15-second period. Clean waves with some groundswell grunt.
Thursday morning, August 6th, is another glassy one with 3ft SW swell and moderate energy (379). Real nice.
Friday morning, August 7th, is a standout. 3ft SSW groundswell at 18 seconds, offshore north breeze, glassy, and strong energy (728). That’s a long-period groundswell that will wrap in nicely.
Saturday morning, August 8th, is also a cracker. 4ft SSW swell, 16-second period, glassy, and very strong energy (809). Clean, punchy, and consistent.
Sunday morning, August 9th, keeps it going: 4ft SSW, 14-second period, glassy, and strong energy (542). Another top morning.
Monday morning, August 10th, is similar: 4ft SSW, 13-second period, glassy, and strong energy (654). The run of good mornings continues.
Tuesday morning, August 11th, is another standout: 3ft SSW groundswell at 18 seconds, glassy, and very strong energy (839). That’s a long-period groundswell that will deliver.
Wednesday morning, August 12th, and Thursday morning, August 13th, both offer clean, glassy conditions with 3ft SW swell at 16 seconds.
Now, Friday morning, August 14th, is the big one. 4ft SW swell at 18 seconds, glassy, and massive energy (1112). This is excellent for experienced surfers—the swell is solid and the period is very long.
Saturday morning, August 15th, is also excellent for experienced surfers: 5ft SW swell, 16-second period, clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, and massive energy (1007). The biggest swell of the run.
Sunday morning, August 16th, still offers 4ft SW swell, 14-second period, glassy, and strong energy (576).
The best of the lot? Friday morning, August 14th, and Saturday morning, August 15th. Both have excellent conditions, big groundswell, glassy or clean wind, and the biggest energy. The swell direction from the SSW to SW is perfect for Playa Bonfil. Just keep in mind that crowds can pop up sometimes, so get in early.
Later in the forecast, Monday morning, August 17th, and Tuesday morning, August 18th, still offer clean, fun waves with 3ft SSW swell, but the energy drops off a bit.
Rusty out.

Information about the Playa Bonfil Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Playa Bonfil provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Playa Bonfil can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Playa Bonfil 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 (Playa Bonfil) 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 Playa Bonfil 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.
