The Lowdown
Alright, let me switch to feet and miles for you landlocked types. Playa Bonfil is your spot for the next 16 days – a sandbar that's very consistent, open to SSW swell. Water's a warm 88°F, about a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. Crowds can pop up sometimes, but the surf's worth it.
Starting Sunday 19 July morning: a clean SW groundswell around 3.3ft, 17-second period, light cross-off breeze. Combined energy's moderate at 838. Long period might straighten out on the sandbar, but still a good session. Afternoon turns sloppy.

Wednesday 22 July morning: 3.0ft SW, 14 seconds, off from the NNW, clean, energy 400 – fun small waves. Afternoon cross-onshore choppy.
Thursday 23 July: tiny 2.0ft SW, 13 seconds, morning clean but no push (energy 185). Friday 24 July morning: a standout – glassy, 2.6ft SSW but with a massive 24-second period. Energy 891 – long period will give shape but can be straight

Information about the Playa Bonfil Surf forecast
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. Our Playa Bonfil surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Playa Bonfil) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
