The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s have a look at the 16-day picture for Playa Bonfil. There’s a bit of a gap right at the start, with Monday the 14th looking pretty average, so we’ll have to wait until Tuesday morning to see the real action kick off. The water’s sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than what we’d usually expect for this time of year.
Tuesday the 15th is where it starts getting interesting. We’ve got a clean 4ft SSW groundswell with a long 17-second period. The combined energy is strong at (1051) and it’s glassy off a NNW wind in the morning. That’s some proper quality on offer for the experienced crew. The energy jumps up through Wednesday morning the 16th, hitting (1135) with 5ft of SSW swell at 16 seconds and light cross-offshore winds. This is the standout of the first week, no question. Clean waves and plenty of grunt.
Thursday the 17th morning is a real treat – glassy conditions with 4ft of swell and still a solid 14-second period (933 energy). Uncrowded potential there. The swell drops a little into the weekend, but glassy mornings on Friday the 19th (3ft, 18s, energy 773) and Saturday the 20th (4ft, 19s, energy 1094) are still damned good for a paddle.
The second week keeps the momentum. Monday the 21st has a clean 4ft SW swell at 17 seconds and energy of (1186). After that, it’s a bit of a mixed bag with onshore winds in the afternoons, but the mornings consistently deliver. Keep an eye on Thursday the 24th morning – glassy, 4ft SW swell at 14 seconds – and Sunday the 27th morning, which looks like the last real highlight with glassy conditions and 5ft of SW swell at 13 seconds (898 energy). That one’s a long way out, but it’s got promise.
Overall, Playa Bonfil is very consistent, so there are heaps of windows. The best bet is getting in early, before the westerly seabreezes kick up each afternoon. The beach setup here can get a bit lumpy with cross-shore winds, so stick to the glassy morning windows.
