The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what's on the cards for Playa Bonfil over the next couple of weeks.
First off, the water is sitting at 88°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. A little like bathwater, but you won't be complaining.
The opening stretch is pretty quiet. Saturday the 1st is a mess with a 3ft SSW swell and a tricky cross-shore wind. Sunday the 2nd morning is a tease – it goes glassy with a clean 2ft SSW swell, but it's small and the afternoon turns ugly again. Monday the 3rd morning is your first real window. We've got a 3ft SSW groundswell with a long 16-second period and a light offshore breeze. That's clean and should have some shape, though the sets will be spaced out. It's not big, but it's the best early call.
Then there's a lull. Tuesday and Wednesday mornings offer clean windows with very small swell – around 2ft – so really only for a longboard or a foiler. Not much to get excited about.
Now for the real standout. Friday the 7th morning. We've got a 3ft SSW swell with a very long 18-second period, and it's glassy. That's proper. The energy is solid. That kind of period means the waves will have plenty of push and hold up nicely. This is a sandbar break, so with that long period, it could be a touch straight, but with clean conditions, it'll be worth the paddle. A good one for the intermediate crew.
The following morning, Saturday the 8th, is nearly as good. A slightly bigger 4ft SSW swell (16 seconds) and offshore wind. Clean and punchy. That's your other big highlight.
From there, the pattern keeps rolling. Mornings are consistently the call. Sunday the 9th morning (4ft SSW, 14 seconds), Monday the 10th morning (3ft SSW, 13 seconds, offshore), Tuesday the 11th morning (3ft SW, 18 seconds, glassy), and Wednesday the 12th morning (3ft SW, cross-off) all offer good, clean surf. You'll want to be in the water early before the afternoon winds kick in.
Looking further out, Friday the 14th morning has a 4ft SW swell with an 18-second period and offshore wind. Energy is strong. This one looks promising, but being over a week away, keep an eye on it. The mornings of the 15th and 16th also have clean 3-4ft SW swells on offer.
Overall, the pick of the fortnight is Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th mornings for that combination of clean glass and proper groundswell energy. Get on it.
Rusty.
