The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking.
We’re kicking off with a solid run of clean, small waves at Villa Bonita stretching through the first week. The water is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 89°. The early mornings are the real deal here—light offshore or glassy winds alongside SSW swell. Monday morning the 3rd of August sees some clouds, glassy conditions, and a 3ft SSW swell with a 14-second period. The combined energy is moderate (299). It’s small, but it’s clean and rideable. Tuesday morning the 4th is similar, 2ft SSW, glassy, clean. Wednesday morning the 5th picks up with a bit more push—2ft SW, 15-second period, and that NNE offshore breeze making it tidy. Thursday morning the 6th stays clean with 2ft SW, glassy glass.
Now, the standout. Friday morning the 7th of August is where it starts to get serious. We’ve got 3ft SSW swell, 18-second period, glassy NE wind. The energy jumps to 795 (moderate). That’s a proper groundswell with plenty of grunt. Saturday morning the 8th is even better: 4ft SSW, 16-second period, glassy NNW wind, energy hitting 811. Same story Sunday morning the 9th—4ft SSW, 14-second period, glassy, clean. These three mornings are the best on offer—clean, building, and consistent. If you can get out there, Friday through Sunday morning are your golden hours.
The second week sees a bit of a drop off, but there are still good windows. Tuesday morning the 11th of August is a gem—3ft SSW, 18-second period, glassy west wind, energy at 871. That’s a long-period groundswell, so it’ll wrap nicely into the break. Conditions are clean. Friday morning the 14th of August is a standout for the whole window—4ft SW, 18-second period, light offshore NW wind, energy at 1099 (strong). That’s the best swell of the whole 16 days. It’s clean, powerful, and glassy. Saturday morning the 15th holds 5ft SW, 16-second period, glassy NNW wind, energy at 993—still excellent. Sunday morning the 16th backs off a little to 4ft SW, 14-second period, glassy north wind, energy 678.
The afternoons throughout are mostly a write-off with cross-onshore breezes and choppy conditions. Don’t bother unless you’re just after a paddle.
Overall, this is a cracking run for Villa Bonita. The early mornings are the key, and the week of the 7th to the 9th is the absolute peak. And that Friday the 14th morning is a serious promise—keep an eye on that one.
Stay stoked,
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.
