The Lowdown
Alright mates, let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks are a story of two halves: a slow, average start and a real promising backend. It’s all about timing your paddle-outs right.
The first few days are pretty poor. Friday afternoon has a bit of swell at 4ft, but it’s cross-onshore and messy. Not worth the hassle. Saturday morning is cleaner with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is down to 3ft and just okay. The afternoons are a chop fest. Sunday and Monday have some glassy moments, but the swell is small, around 2-3ft. You’d be hunting for ankle-biters.
Midweek the swell really bottoms out to around 2-2ft. It’s weak and gutless. Bring a longboard, or don’t bring anything at all. It’s that marginal.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The surf starts to wake up on Friday the 7th. The swell is back to 3ft, but the period is a long 18 seconds. That's proper groundswell. The morning glass will have it looking silky smooth. The energy is up at (784) too. Saturday the 8th keeps that quality, with a 4ft southwest swell and 16-second period. Another glassy morning, another great session.
But the clear winner is Saturday the 15th. That’s the one. Swell pushes up to 4ft, still from the southwest, with a 16-second period. The energy is the strongest of the whole period at (938). The morning forecast is for glassy conditions. This is the standout day—good size, long period, and clean. It’s got everything.
The other mornings worth setting the alarm for are the 9th, 10th, 12th, and 13th. They all have clean, glassy looks with swell in the 3-4ft range. The mornings are the move every time, because the afternoons get tangled up in a cross-onshore breeze.
One thing to keep in mind with these long-period swells: they can break a bit straight at Villa Bonita. You might have to search for the bend in the reef for a better wall. But the quality is there on those mornings.
Water temp is around 88°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. It’s a nice little bonus.
So, keep the board ready. The surf is on its way, and the 15th is your best bet for a real standout session. Don't miss the 7th and 8th either—they’re going to be mighty fun.

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.
