The Lowdown
Hey gang, Rusty here. Let’s break down the Villa Bonita forecast in feet and knots for the metric-shy crew.
Water temp is a balmy 88°F, a touch warmer than usual, so get ready to be sweating in your wetsuit.
The week starts small. Monday the 24th has a bumpy 2ft SW swell in the morning with some crosswind. Skip it. The Monday afternoon turns glassy, with the swell picking up to 3ft from the SSW and a 16-second pulse. Clean little runners.
Tuesday and Wednesday stay small and clean, with waves around 2ft from the SW. Light offshore or glassy winds make for smooth faces, but you’ll need a log.
Thursday morning the 27th sees a longer-period swell, 2ft from the SW with an 18-second interval. Glassy conditions in the morning, but the wind messes it up later.
Friday the 28th is a morning mission. The swell hits 4ft from the SW, 17 seconds of energy, and a light cross-off wind keeps it clean. Get out early because the afternoon gets sloppy.
Saturday morning the 29th is your first big call. We’ve got a 6ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, dead calm wind, and strong energy. This is excellent, powerful surf for experienced surfers only.
Sunday the 30th is still decent, a clean 5ft SW swell with a cross-off breeze.
The first week of September keeps delivering with glassy mornings. Monday the 31st is 4ft, clean, but the period is a bit shorter.
Then Friday morning, September 4th stops the clock. A 6ft SSW swell with a 17-second period, glassy wind, and a very strong energy reading. That’s proper groundswell for the experienced crew. Expect long, powerful walls at the better breaks.
Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th bring 5ft SSW swells and glassy conditions again. Strong energy and clean faces.
The final standout is Tuesday morning, September 8th. The swell is a solid 5ft from the SW, but the period is a massive 19 seconds. That means long, drawn-out sets with a ton of power. Glassy conditions again. This is a big-swell, long-period setup that’s best suited to the points, not the beach.
Crowds are possible at Villa Bonita on the prime days, so get there early for your share.
Rusty out.

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.
