Alright, this is Rusty, and I'm lookin' at the next couple of weeks for our local spot.
Overall, we've got a bit of a mixed bag coming up. Most of the action is gonna be on the smaller side, but there are a few mornings that are gonna be absolutely worth the early alarm. The water temp is sitting at about 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.
The real fun kicks off on Saturday the 11th morning. Playa Bonfil is looking at a clean 4ft swell from the SSW, with a period of 15 seconds – that’s some proper groundswell energy. The wind is dead calm, glassy conditions, and the combined energy is sitting at a solid 824. It’s not a monster, but for a clean Saturday session, it's a standout. The crowd factor is there, so expect some company.
Sunday morning the 12th is also looking clean, with a 4ft SSW swell, period of 14 seconds, and a light cross-offshore breeze. There's a risk of a t-storm, but the conditions should be worth dodging a few raindrops. The energy is a moderate 667.
We hit a bit of a lull Monday afternoon and Tuesday look messy, but then Wednesday the 15th morning brings back some hope. A 5ft S swell with a short 8-second period, but clean with a light cross-offshore. The energy is moderate at 579. It's a better option than the afternoons.
After that, the surf stays pretty small through the end of the week and into the next. There's a few glassy mornings on Saturday the 18th and again on Sunday the 19th with small 3ft to 3ft swell from the SW. The period is nice and long (17-18 seconds) though, so those will be clean but small. The real standout in the second week is Wednesday morning the 22nd. We're looking at a 7ft W swell, period of 12 seconds, with glassy conditions and an offshore wind. The combined energy is a strong 1896. That's expert territory, too big for beginners, but for those with the skills, it's gonna be a special session. The morning of the 23rd will also hold at 7ft and clean, but it's a drop in quality from the 22nd. Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th mornings clean up again with 4ft and 3ft respectively, but the real power is that Wednesday window.
So, the best of the best: Saturday morning the 11th for the glassy, clean long-period swell, and Wednesday morning the 22nd for the proper, powerful expert-level waves.
Stay salty,
Rusty

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.
