Playa Bonfil Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line.

We’ve got Playa Bonfil (sandbar) as the only show in town, and it’s a cracker for a good stretch of days. The water is sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice bonus.

The action kicks off Friday morning, July 24, with a glassy 3 ft SSW swell. It’s not big, but with no wind and clean conditions, it’s a lovely way to start the day. The combined swell energy is solid at 863, so there’s plenty of push for the size. That morning session is the pick of Friday.

Saturday, July 25, sees the swell bump up. The morning has a 4 ft SW swell with a light offshore breeze – clean conditions. The energy ramps right up to 1296, which is moderate to strong. This is a standout window for experienced surfers, and the wind stays good. Saturday afternoon gets onshore and messy, so make the most of the morning.

Sunday, July 26, keeps the 5 ft SW swell rolling, and Sunday morning is glassy again. That’s another top session. The energy is strong at 1823. By afternoon, a risk of thunderstorms and cross-onshore wind messes it up.

Monday, July 27, is a beauty. The swell holds at 6 ft from the SSW, and the morning has a light offshore breeze – clean lines. Afternoon goes glassy. This is a full day of quality surf for confident surfers. Swell energy is up at 2112.

Tuesday, July 28, keeps the 6 ft SSW swell with a clean morning offshore flow. That’s big, solid surf for experienced crew. Energy is 2253 – very strong.

From Wednesday, July 29, the swell eases down through the 6 ft to 5 ft range, but the wind starts to turn more cross or onshore, so the quality drops. By Thursday, July 30, it’s smaller and less clean.

We get another clean window on Friday morning, July 31, with a 4 ft SSW swell and glassy conditions – worth a paddle. After that, the swell fades into the first week of August. For the entire first week of August, we’ve got small swell, mostly 2 ft to 3 ft, with only brief clean windows in the mornings on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th. Afternoons are mostly chopped out or onshore. It’s a long run of small, ordinary waves. There’s a tiny pulse of 2 ft glassy swell on the Wednesday morning of August 5 and another on the morning of August 6, but energy is low. The outlook turns quiet.

Overall, the standout is the run from Saturday July 25 through to Tuesday July 28 – solid SW to SSW swell, mostly clean mornings, and strong energy. That’s your best bet. For the experts, Monday and Tuesday mornings with that 6 ft to 6 ft SSW swell are the pick of the whole 16 days.

Stay frothing,

Rusty
