Alright, it's Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cookin' for Playa Bonfil.
We've got a really nice run of surf on the cards here. The first real call is for Thursday morning, July 2nd. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 88°, about 3° above what you'd expect for this time of year. The seabreeze will kick in later on that day, but the mornings are where we'll find it. This spot is very consistent, so you can generally count on something.
The standout period is actually a few days in. Sunday morning, July 5th, is looking absolutely firing. You've got a clean 4ft SSW groundswell with a solid 16-second period, and it's glassy with a NN wind. The combined energy is pumping at (1021), which is strong. This is the one to circle on the calendar.
Then we get a run of absolute magic mornings. Monday July 6th, the swell dips a bit to 3ft, but the period jumps to a very long 20 seconds. That's serious ground energy, and with glassy conditions and a NNE breeze, it'll be clean and powerful. The energy reading is (1596) – that's a lot of water moving. This is best for the point or reef if you can find one, as that long period will make a beach break a bit wonky. For the experienced crew, Tuesday July 7th morning brings a bigger pulse at 6ft from the SSW (18s period) with clean cross-offshore wind. That's a powerful day, over the 5ft mark, so it's for the intermediates and above. Wednesday July 8th morning keeps the quality going with clean 5ft surf.
After that, from the 9th through to the 12th, we keep scoring clean, waist-to-chest high waves every morning, with light winds and good energy. The afternoons pretty much all get a cross-on shore chop, so stick to the dawn patrol.
There is a bit of a drop-off after that. From the 13th onwards, the swell size backs down, though there are still some clean windows on the mornings of the 14th (2ft but a very long 19s period) and the 15th. That far out, take it as a promising outlook but it's less certain.
Overall, this is a great stretch. The Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays of that first full week are the top-tier calls.

The above surf forecast table for Playa Bonfil provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Playa Bonfil can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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.
