The Lowdown
Alright mate, let’s talk Villa Bonita. The water’s 88°F, a touch warmer than usual – nothing crazy, but you’ll feel it.
Best bet is the first few mornings. Tuesday the 18th kicks off with a glassy 4-foot SSW swell, 14-second period, 594 energy – decent power. That morning is the pick. The afternoons get cross-onshore and lumpy, so be there early.
Wednesday the 19th morning is more of the same – 3ft SSW, glassy, clean. Thursday the 20th morning drops to 3ft but stays clean with a cross-off breeze – still fun. Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd mornings are glassy with 3ft SSW. Consistent little waves.
Sunday the 23rd morning is a ripper in its own right – 2ft SW but an 18-second period, 758 energy. Real groundswell. It’ll run longer at Villa Bonita.
Mornings stay clean right through Thursday the 27th, but swell is small (2ft to 2ft). That Thursday morning is another good one – 2ft SW, 18 seconds, 593 energy, glassy.
Then things fire up. Friday the 28th morning: 3ft SSW, 16 seconds, glassy. Solid. But Saturday the 29th morning is the standout – 5ft SSW, 16-second period, 1331 energy, glassy. That’s powerful. Not for beginners, but experienced surfers will be loving it.
Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st hold similar size (5ft to 5ft) but the wind goes cross-shore or onshore with storms and rain – messy. Tuesday the 1st of September morning cleans up with a 4ft SSW swell and a light offshore.
The second week is smaller, but Wednesday the 2nd of September afternoon throws a surprise: 4ft SSW, 17 seconds, glassy, 1044 energy. A late sleeper.
Circle Saturday the 29th morning. That’s the one.
Rusty.

Information about the Villa Bonita Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Villa Bonita provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Villa Bonita can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Villa Bonita 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 (Villa Bonita) 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 Villa Bonita 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.
