The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Bonny Hills.
Right from the get-go, we’ve got a bit of a flat spell. Tuesday morning is small with a 4ft SW swell, but it's clean and cross-off with a 3 mph westerly. The energy is weak (128). The water is 67°, which is bang on average for this time of year. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Tuesday afternoon drops off to a tiny 2ft swell with onshore wind – that’s a no-go. Wednesday through Friday is a write-off, with onshore winds, rain, and building swell. Wednesday morning has a 5ft S swell but with a 12 mph cross-off wind, it’s marginal. The energy picks up (276), but conditions are ordinary. By Wednesday afternoon, we’re looking at 8ft and a cross-shore wind with rain – that’s messy and better left alone. Thursday and Friday are similar stories with cross to cross-on winds and dropping quality.
The weekend is a washout. Saturday and Sunday have solid swell – 7ft to 10ft – but it’s all cross-on and choppy with onshore winds. The energy is high (434 to 1923), but the wind is totally ruining it. For a beach and reef setup like Bonny Hills, this is more of a kite-surfing scene than a paddle-surfing one.
Now, Monday the 20th sees a slight improvement. The swell eases to 8ft from the E with a 6 mph cross-on wind. The energy is still solid (1133), and the wind is light, but it’s still cross-on. It’s marginal but better than the weekend. Tuesday the 21st is the first real standout. The morning is glassy with a 3 mph SSW wind, and a 6ft E swell. That’s clean, glassy conditions. The energy is 744. This is your best bet in the first week – it’ll be beautiful out there.
Wednesday the 22nd is also good. The morning is clean with a 6ft E swell and a 6 mph cross-off SW wind. Energy is 647. It’s a solid, clean option.
But the real highlight is Thursday the 23rd. The morning has a 7ft E swell with a 12-second period, and a 6 mph cross-off SW wind. The energy is 1357. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers – big, clean, and powerful. It’s a bit much for beginners, but for the crew who know what they’re doing, this is the pick of the 16 days. Friday the 24th is also very good, with a 6ft E swell and a 12-second period, clean cross-off wind. Energy is 1012. The next Saturday and Sunday (the 25th and 26th) are glassy and clean, with 6ft to 6ft E swell and 12-second periods. Expect very good surf.
The second week trails off. Monday the 27th is clean with a 5ft E swell, Tuesday the 28th has a 4ft E swell with a nice offshore WNW wind, and Wednesday the 29th drops to 3ft. It’s clean but getting small.
So, the standout is Thursday the 23rd – big, clean, and powerful. Tuesday the 21st is your best smaller option. Get out there.
Rusty.

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