The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's get into the local surf outlook for this stretch. We've got some solid groundswell on the way, so it's time to get the boards ready.

The big news is a solid pulse of SW groundswell rolling in. We're looking at good, clean conditions early on, especially for the more experienced crew. The water is sitting at a noticeable 88°, which is a touch warmer than what's normal for this time of year.

Let's start with Sunday morning (July 26th) at Playa Bonfil. We've got a clean 5ft SW groundswell, and it's firing with that long 18-second period. The wind is light and offshore from the NNW, so the surface will be glassy. This is proper groundswell; the wave energy is strong (1890), and those long-period lines will wrap in nicely. This is really one for the experienced surfers though, as that size and power demands respect. The morning is your window; by the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and it gets choppy.

Monday morning (July 27th) looks even better for the big-wave hunters. The swell is up to a solid 6ft from the SW, still with a very long 17-second period. The wind is offshore again from the north, so it's clean. The combined energy is pumping at 2054. This is a powerful setup, and a crowd is sometimes around here, so get out there early.

Tuesday morning (July 28th) still has plenty of punch, with a 6ft SSW swell (17-second period) and a clean, cross-offshore breeze. Wave energy is strong at 2318.

Then we hit a real standout. Wednesday morning (July 29th). The swell drops slightly to 6ft from the SSW, with a 16-second period, but look at the wind—dead calm, glassy as a mirror. Zero wind. That's about as perfect as it gets for conditions. The wave energy is still strong (1772). This is the session you wait for. If you can get out there, do it. The crowd is only "sometimes" a problem, so you might get lucky.

Thursday morning (July 30th) is another glassy morning with clean 5ft SSW swell (14-second period). The energy is moderate (1029). A great option for a quick paddle before the wind fills in.

The swell starts to drop from Friday (July 31st) into the weekend, with clean 4ft to 3ft SSW swell, periods dropping under 14 seconds. The mornings will be clean, but the afternoons get sloppy.

There's a bit of a lull from around August 1st onward, with the swell dropping well under 3ft. It gets pretty weak for a few days, but don't write it off completely—forecasts can change.

Looking further ahead, we get a glimmer of hope on Friday morning, August 7th. It's a long way off, so take it with a pinch of salt, but the models are showing a clean 2ft SSW swell with a very long 18-second period and glassy conditions. That's a super clean, playful wave for the sandbar, but the energy is only moderate (503). It's worth keeping an eye on.

Then Saturday morning, August 8th sees a similar setup: clean, glassy conditions with a 4ft SSW swell (16-second period) and moderate energy (875). Again, a long-range promise, but it's a promising sign.

The standout for the whole period is hands-down the glassy Wednesday morning (July 29th). Combine that solid, powerful groundswell with no wind at all, and you have a recipe for a truly memorable session at Playa Bonfil. Get it while it's good.

Rusty.

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.

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.
