The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a nice run of consistent swell on the way, starting this Wednesday morning. The water is sitting at 87° which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, so a spring suit might be all you need.
The first real standout kicks off right away on Wednesday the 2nd of September. Head to Villa Bonita. The morning is glassy, dead calm, with a clean 3ft SW groundswell rolling in at a long 16 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (978). It’s a consistent spot, and it’s exposed to the swell – conditions are set to be very good. The offshore wind direction from the NNE is a bonus, keeping it clean. It’s an intermediate break, and crowds are only sometimes a problem, so you’ll likely have some room. This is the pick of the week.
The swell builds through Thursday and Friday. Thursday morning the 3rd sees the swell jump to 5ft from the SSW, period 18 seconds, and the energy is strong (1606). That’s getting into the territory where it’s more for experienced surfers. Glassy conditions again. Then Friday morning the 4th pushes it up to 6ft from the SSW, period 17 seconds, with strong energy (2090) – another excellent morning for those with the skills. The direction is spot on the optimum.
The weekends are good too. Saturday morning the 5th and Sunday morning the 6th both deliver clean, glassy conditions with 6ft and 5ft SSW swell respectively. The energy is still strong but dropping. Mornings are the key – the afternoons get a bit of a cross-on breeze that messes with the quality.
After that first week, the swell drops back but doesn’t disappear. The mornings from Monday the 7th through to the end of the forecast stay glassy, with smaller swell in the 3ft to 5ft range. There’s a notable bump on the Monday morning the 14th – a 3ft swell but with a very long period of 17 seconds, giving it moderate energy (620). Another good one is the Thursday morning the 17th with a 3ft SW swell, period 14 seconds, and moderate energy (831). For a late call, the Wednesday morning the 16th has a nice 3ft SW swell and glassy conditions, good for a session.
The best overall window is the first four days: Wednesday the 2nd through Saturday the 5th. After that, it’s smaller but still worthwhile if you’re keen on a morning paddle.
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.
