The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Gotta be straight – the next 16 days at Bonnet Point look flat and crappy. This point’s always inconsistent, and this forecast delivers nothing good for a long stretch. From Tuesday the 14th through to the morning of Monday the 20th, it’s all poor surf – choppy, cross‑onshore wind, tiny swell with weak energy. A full week of nothing.
Then Monday morning the 20th shows a little pulse: about 3ft of S swell, 9‑second period, offshore WNW breeze at 3 mph, clean. Combined energy moderate at 164. It’s only a 1 out of 10 on the surfable-but-ordinary scale, so don’t get hyped. Crowds are possible now and then, but this won’t draw anyone. That afternoon the wind turns and it’s poor again.
Next morning, Tuesday the 21st, another tiny window: 3ft S swell, 8 seconds, clean offshore ENE breeze at 3 mph. Weak energy at 89. Still just ordinary. After that, it’s onshore winds, short‑period junk, and poor conditions all the way to the end. There’s a day on Wednesday the 29th with 5ft swell and energy hitting 462, but it’s blowing 19 mph onshore – that’s kite‑surfing territory, not paddle surf.
So bottom line: if you really need a paddle, try the morning of July 20. Otherwise, wait for a better forecast. Things can change, but right now Bonnet Point is a dud.
Rusty.

Information about the Bonnet Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Bonnet Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Bonnet Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Bonnet Point 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 (Bonnet Point) 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 Bonnet Point 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.
