The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got coming up at Playa Bonfil.
We’re kicking off with a decent pulse of SSW groundswell, and the water is sitting at a balmy 88° – about a touch warmer than you’d normally expect for this time of year. The real standout window is shaping up to be Wednesday morning the 29th. That’s your moment. We’re looking at a solid 6ft of SSW swell rolling in with a long 16-second period, and the wind is going glassy – dead calm, clean as a whistle. That’s excellent surf for experienced surfers. The wave energy is very strong (1794), so you’ll feel the power.
Now, through the rest of the first week, the swell holds but slowly backs off. Thursday morning the 30th is also a ripper – 5ft SSW, clean with light offshore winds out of the NNW. That’s a fantastic call for a surf before it fattens up a bit into the afternoons.
After a drop-off over the weekend into the start of August, with clean but smaller 2ft to 3ft waves, there’s another promising window about a week and a half out. On the morning of Friday the 7th of August, we see a new pulse of 3ft SSW swell with a very long 17-second period, and it’s glassy again. That’s going to be clean, lined-up waves – but with that long period, watch for it to be a bit straight at a sandbar setup like this. Still, a beautiful morning to be out. Then into Saturday the 8th of August, the morning has a solid 4ft of SSW swell with clean offshore winds, so another good shout there.
There are plenty of mornings to get a wave in, but don’t bother with the afternoons – that cross-shore and cross-onshore wind chops it up pretty quick. Overall, the first three mornings (from the 29th to the 31st) and the far-off window around the 7th to the 8th of August are your best bets. There’s a lull in real quality from about the 1st to the 6th, but with this break being very consistent, it won't stay flat – just smaller and less exciting.
Rusty.
