Table - best surf conditions forecast for Playa Bonfil over the next 16 days.
Right, listen up. Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on offer for Playa Bonfil.
This is a sandbar break down on the exposed coast, and it’s a very consistent setup. The water is sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be fine in a shorty or just boardies.
The next few days are a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a solid, long-period groundswell running from the SSW, with a consistent 4ft of swell through the end of the week, but the wind is the problem. Thursday afternoon is a write-off with a cross-shore chop. Friday morning (10th July) is your first real window – clean conditions with a light offshore breeze from the NE and that 4ft, 15-second swell. The energy is moderate (759), and it’ll be clean. The afternoon will chop it up again though.
Saturday morning (11th July) is another standout. Glassy conditions, a bit of cloud cover, and that same 4ft SSW swell with a touch more energy (802). It’s going to be really clean. Sunday morning (12th July) is also glassy with a slightly smaller 4ft swell, but still very surfable. The energy drops a bit (678), but with no wind, it’ll be worth a paddle.
The real highlight, though, is the second week. After a few smaller days, things wind up properly. The morning of Wednesday 22nd July is a serious standout. The swell direction shifts to the west, pushing 5ft, and the energy is strong (1229). The wind is glassy from the NNE, making it an excellent call for experienced surfers. That’s the best quality on offer. Thursday morning (23rd July) is also glassy, with a 5ft west swell, but the period is a bit shorter. Friday morning (24th July) brings a clean 6ft south swell (1578 energy) with a light offshore. That’s another big one for the experienced crew.
The crowds are listed as “sometimes” here, so you might see a few others out, but nothing crazy. Overall, don’t bother with the afternoons this week – focus on the mornings. The best windows are Saturday morning, Sunday morning, and then the big morning swells on the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th of July. Get after it.
Rusty.

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.
