The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Villa Bonita is shaping up as the spot to keep an eye on over the next couple of weeks. We have a solid run of surf coming through, with some proper standouts. The water temp is sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
Right now, Wednesday the 22nd is looking promising with a clean 3ft SW swell, a long 14-second period, and glassy conditions. The combined energy is moderate at 462. That morning session is the one to aim for, but the afternoon gets a bit messy with onshore breezes.
Thursday the 23rd starts off with an even smaller 2ft swell, but with that glassy calm and 13-second period, it’ll be super clean. The afternoon fades out.
Friday the 24th morning is where it starts to get interesting. There’s a 3ft SSW swell, a very long 24-second period, and glassy conditions. The energy is ramping up to 881. This is a proper groundswell that will wrap in nicely. That kind of period tends to suit Villa Bonita. The afternoon is a little more average.
Saturday the 25th morning is a real highlight. A 4ft SSW swell with a 21-second period, light offshore winds, and the combined energy is pumping at 1395. The conditions are clean and the waves will have some proper punch. This is one for the experienced crew as it gets a bit more size. The afternoon builds to 5ft but gets a bit lumpy.
Sunday the 26th keeps the goods coming. Morning glass again with a 5ft SW swell, 18-second period, and energy at 1700. This is excellent, clean surf.
Monday the 27th is more of the same – 5ft SW, 17-second period, glassy, and the energy is up at 2276. It will be pushing bigger.
Tuesday the 28th morning is another standout. A 7ft SSW swell with a 17-second period and dead calm conditions. The energy is massive at 2575. This is big, powerful swell – strictly for experienced surfers only. Too much for beginners.
Wednesday the 29th has a 6ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and calm winds. Another excellent morning session, albeit with some size.
Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st see the swell backing off a bit, but still with 5ft and 3ft SSW swells respectively, with glassy mornings and nice long periods.
We then hit a bit of a lull around the 1st and 2nd of August, with smaller waves in the 2ft to 3ft range. The glassy mornings still offer something for the log or a fun small-wave board.
Wednesday the 6th of August is a potential late-cycle standout. A 5ft WSW swell, 13-second period, and dead calm conditions. The energy is back up to 1029. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but it has all the makings of a great session.
The best of the best? Lock in Saturday the 25th and Tuesday the 28th mornings. Those are the real standouts.
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.
