The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break it down for Villa Bonita. We’ve got a steady stream of south-west groundswell running through the full 16 days, and the morning windows are looking prime. Water temp is about 88°, a touch warmer than usual for the season, so no need for rubber.
The story is consistent: a long-period SW groundswell holds all the way through, with most mornings offering glass or light offshore wind. Afternoons get a cross-on breeze and chop, so it’s a sunrise mission. Wave energy runs from moderate to strong, with combined numbers between about 480 and 1160 – plenty of grunt.
The best of the bunch is Tuesday the 15th. Swell at 1.1m (about 4ft) from the SSW, period of 17 seconds – proper groundswell. Wind is 5 km/h from the NNW, cross-off and clean. Energy sits at 880. The direction matches the spot’s optimum, so expect clean, lined-up sets. It’s an intermediate wave, consistent, but you might see a few others in the water – crowds are sometimes a factor.
Wednesday the 16th morning is nearly as good: 1.3m (4ft), 16-second period, glassy with NW wind. Energy at 981. Again, clean and solid for the skilled crew.
From there, most mornings through the end of the month offer similar clean conditions in the 0.8m to 1.3m (3ft to 4ft) range. After the 26th, the period drops to 12-13 seconds, so it’s a bit shorter and more playful, but still clean and fun. The Sunday morning on the 27th is a solid finisher: 1.2m (4ft) SSW, 13-second period, cross-off NW wind, energy at 794.
No gaps in the surf here – it’s pretty much go every morning. Just skip the afternoons unless you like washing machines.
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.
