Villa Bonita Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking over the next couple of weeks for Villa Bonita.

The forecast is looking pretty good overall, with a solid run of clean, surfable mornings and a couple of days that stand out as absolute crackers. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 88°, which is nice and comfortable.

The first surf to get excited about is on Sunday morning, August 9th. We’ve got a clean 4 ft swell from the SSW with a moderate period of 14 seconds, and the wind is light and offshore from the NNE. Combined energy is moderate at 542, and the conditions are glassy. It’s not massive, but it’s a lovely way to start the week.

Monday morning the 10th holds similar 4 ft SSW swell with cross-offshore wind, keeping it clean. Then Tuesday the 11th is a bit of a write-off with onshore wind and a risk of thunderstorms, so you can sleep in.

Now, the standout mornings come in the back half of the week. Wednesday morning, August 12th, brings 3 ft from the SW with a 16-second period – that’s a nice groundswell – and glassy conditions. The energy is moderate at 578. It’ll be clean and lined up, perfect for an intermediate session.

Thursday morning, August 13th, is another glassy gem: 3 ft from the SW, 16-second period, and combined energy of 575. Same story, just a touch smaller.

But the real highlight is Friday morning, August 14th. We’ve got 4 ft of SW swell, 18-second period, and offshore wind from the N. The combined energy jumps to a strong 1282, so there’s plenty of push. This is excellent for experienced surfers – not too big for a capable intermediate, but with enough grunt to get exciting. It’s a true standout.

Saturday morning, August 15th, is also a belter: 5 ft from the SW, 16-second period, glassy conditions, and energy at 1179. Again, excellent for experienced surfers. The swell is getting up there, but the wind is perfect.

Into the second week, the quality holds on the mornings. Sunday the 16th is 4 ft with cross-offshore wind, Monday the 17th is glassy with 4 ft, and Tuesday the 18th is flat calm and glassy with 4 ft. Wednesday the 19th is another glassy morning with 4 ft.

The late-week mornings, Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st, drop a little in size to 3 ft and 3 ft, but they’re still glassy and clean. Saturday the 22nd has a tiny 2 ft swell but with a very long 21-second period, so there will be some long lines if you’re patient.

The best of the second week is probably Sunday morning, August 23rd, with 3 ft from the SW, 19-second period, and cross-offshore wind, combined energy of 915. And Monday morning, August 24th, is another clean one with 3 ft from the SW, 18-second period, and cross-offshore wind.

Keep in mind, afternoons generally get a cross-onshore breeze, so mornings are definitely the go. Villa Bonita is a consistent break, and with the crowds listed as “sometimes”, you might see a few others out on these good mornings, but it won’t be a zoo.

So, to sum it up: the Friday morning, August 14th and Saturday morning, August 15th are the absolute standouts. Get in the water early.

Rusty.
