The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Playa Bonfil over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first window is Thursday afternoon, but the wind is a cross-on mess and the waves are just a bumpy 4.6ft, so I’d say skip it. The real action starts to build from Friday morning.
Friday 31st July is where it gets interesting. The morning brings a clean 3.9ft SSW swell with a 13-second period and a light cross-offshore breeze. That’s a proper surfable morning. The combined energy is moderate at 600, and the water is a balmy 88.5°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The afternoon turns to junk with a cross-shore chop, so get your session in early.
Saturday 1st August morning is clean again, but the swell has dropped to 3ft. Still, with light offshore wind, it’ll be fun on the inside. The afternoon is a write-off with strong cross-breeze.
Sunday 2nd August morning is a gem. Glassy conditions, 2.3ft SSW swell, and calm winds. The combined energy is low at 260, but it’ll be a super clean, cruisy session for a longboard. The afternoon gets chopped again.
We hit a bit of a lull in the middle of the week. The swell drops to 2ft on Monday and Tuesday, and while the mornings are clean, the wave size is pretty marginal. Wednesday 5th August is a no-go.
Thursday 6th August morning shows a pulse of 2.6ft SW swell with a 13-second period and clean offshore wind. It’s a quick pick-me-up. The following morning, Friday 7th August, is a standout. We’ve got 3ft SSW swell, but the period stretches to 18 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The combined energy jumps to 710 (moderate), and with a light cross-offshore breeze, it’ll be a clean, well-shaped wave. This is the best of the first week.
The real standout of the whole outlook, however, is Saturday 8th August morning. Glassy conditions, no wind, and a 3.6ft SSW swell with a 16-second period. The combined energy is 749. That’s a beautiful, clean, lined-up day at Playa Bonfil. Sunday 9th and Monday 10th mornings are also very clean with similar energy – a solid run of good surf.
The second week looks promising but a bit less certain. Tuesday 11th August morning is glassy and 2.6ft, but the swell is smaller. The action picks up again on Wednesday 12th August morning with a fresh 18.6 mph offshore wind and a 3.6ft SW swell, period 17 seconds. The energy is 821 – strong. This will be clean and powerful, but that wind is a bit fresh, so it’s for the more experienced crew.
Thursday 13th August morning is the pick of the second week. Clean, 3.6ft SW swell, 16-second period, and combined energy of 858. It’s a strong, moderate groundswell with excellent conditions. Friday 14th August morning is also a clean, good option before the wind fouls the afternoon.
Overall, the best on offer is the Saturday 8th August morning session – glassy, clean, and a solid 3.6ft SSW groundswell. The Friday 7th and Thursday 13th mornings are also true standouts. Just remember, the long-period swells will be better lined up and have longer waits between sets, but the quality will be there.
Stay stoked.

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.
