The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Playa Bonfil.
The forecast is showing a decent run of groundswell energy coming in from the SSW, but it’s not all going to be clean. The swell is substantial, with a very long period, and the water is sitting at a warm 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The combined swell energy is strong to very strong, hitting values in the thousands (2123).
We’ve got a bit of a wait for the first truly good session. The best bet on offer is Tuesday morning, July 28th. You’ll get a solid 7ft SSW groundswell with a 17-second period, and the wind is offshore from the North at just 3 mph. That’s clean, lined-up surf for experienced surfers. The combined energy is very strong (2487). However, be aware that this very long period groundswell can break a bit straight at a beach break like this, so look for a sandbar that’s working with it.
The next standout is Wednesday morning, July 29th. The swell drops a touch to 6ft from the SSW, but the wind is glassy with a light NE breeze. Conditions will be glassy and clean. The energy is still strong (1820).
Most afternoons through this stretch get ruined by a cross-shore wind from the WSW, making things choppy and marginal. The mornings are the key.
The swell slowly winds down through the end of July and into the start of August. The mornings continue to offer the best chance with glassy or light offshore winds. By Saturday, August 2nd, the swell is down to 2ft, but the morning is clean from the NNW.
There is a promising pulse later in the forecast period. Pay attention to the end of the second week. On Monday morning, August 11th, we see a jump in energy with a 3ft SSW swell but a very long 20-second period, and the combined energy is strong again (1002). The wind is offshore from the NNE. This is another excellent window for experienced surfers, but it’s far out, so keep an eye on it.
The pickup on Friday, August 7th, also looks good. The morning brings a 3ft SSW swell with a 17-second period and offshore winds from the NNW, giving clean conditions and a combined energy of 686.
Overall, keep your eyes on the mornings. The afternoons are mostly a write-off with the cross-shore wind. This is a stretch for the early birds.
Rusty.
