Alright, surfers, Rusty here with the outlook for Playa Bonfil. Let's get into it.
We've got a solid run of surf coming up, but you've gotta pick your moments. The ocean's got plenty of energy, but the wind is gonna be the deciding factor on whether you get a silky wave or a lumpy mess. The water’s sitting at a balmy 88°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Things kick off on the morning of Tuesday, July 8th. This is where it gets good. We’ve got a 5ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a long 16-second period. The moderate wave energy (1343) is there, but the real story is the NW cross-offshore wind at 10 mph. That's going to clean the waves right up. It's excellent for experienced surfers, but honestly, with that size and direction, it's the standout session of the whole forecast. The water's glassy and lined up.
Thursday morning, July 9th, is another cracker. The swell drops a touch to 5ft from the SSW, period holding at 15 seconds, energy moderate (1023). But the wind goes glassy—dead calm from the north at 3 mph. That's about as perfect as it gets for conditions. A little smaller, but pure glass.
Friday morning, July 10th, and Saturday morning, July 11th, are also worth setting the alarm for. Both mornings have that glassy or near-calm wind, with 4ft SSW swell holding at 15 seconds. The energy is moderate (759 and 822 respectively). It's not the biggest, but the smooth, clean faces will make it feel better than it is.
Sunday morning, July 12th, keeps the theme going with 4ft SSW swell and glassy conditions. Energy is dropping (666), but for a morning paddle, it's still clean fun.
Then there's a dry spell in the afternoons – the wind swings onshore and messes things up. The whole middle of the month gets a bit tricky.
We do get another interesting spike on the morning of Monday, July 14th. A new pulse comes in at 8ft from the SSE, but it's short period at 11 seconds. The energy is strong (1641). The wind is cross-offshore from the ENE at 10 mph, so it'll be clean, but that size is definitely for experienced folks only. It'll be a powerful, walled-up beach break. Wednesday the 15th morning has a similar but smaller setup with a 5ft S swell.
After that, the second week tails off into smaller, cleaner mornings but nothing that really jumps out. The mornings of Saturday the 18th, Sunday the 19th, Monday the 20th, and Tuesday the 21st of July all offer small, glassy or clean surf in the 3ft to 4ft range. Fine for a longboard or a funboard, but not a stand-out.
Best Bet: Without a doubt, the Tuesday morning, July 8th. That 5ft groundswell with the cross-offshore wind is going to be the pick of the entire run. Thursday morning, July 9th, is the glassy runner-up.
