G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a real mixed bag coming up at Bonny Hills, with a solid pulse of energy on the way, but you’ll have to be patient for the best of it.

The week starts off with a bit of a shoulder shrug. Thursday morning, the 9th, you’re looking at a 8ft SE swell, but it’s cross-shore wind and the water’s a touch under average for the time of year at 67°. The wave energy is pumping though, with a combined energy of 2047. The conditions are just marginal, so don’t get your hopes up. Friday morning, the 10th, cleans up a little with a light offshore breeze, but the swell drops a touch to 7ft. It’s still a SE swell, so the point should be handling it okay, but it’s not a standout.

Then we get a sweet little window. Saturday morning, the 11th, is the pick of the first week. Glassy conditions with a NNW breeze of 5 km/h, and a clean 3ft ESE swell, with a period of 12 seconds. That’s some proper groundswell, giving long lines. The combined energy is 574. The water is about average for the time of year. Bonny Hills is a consistent point break, so it'll be handling that beautifully. Just a heads up, crowds are possible here, so get out early.

After that, the surf drops off hard. Sunday morning, the 12th, has a tiny 3ft swell with offshore wind, but it’s weak. The energy drops to 192. From Sunday afternoon right through to Wednesday, the 15th, it’s really small and weak. There’s a gap of about three days with nothing really worth paddling for. The swell turns to a short period S swell, combined energy dropping below 100, and the wind is messy.

Now, things get interesting, but not for the faint-hearted. From Thursday the 16th into the following week, a massive swell arrives. Thursday afternoon sees a 12ft SSE swell, but the wind is howling onshore with rain, making it a complete mess. Friday, the 17th, gets even bigger with a 18ft SSE swell, combined energy of 7862, but it’s still cross-onshore and lumpy. This is too big for beginners, and honestly, with the wind and rain, it’s more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle session. The swell keeps pumping through the weekend, all over 15ft and cross-onshore.

The real standout is a long-range call. Saturday morning, the 24th, is looking like the best of the whole run. The swell is 8ft from the ESE, with a 10-second period and a combined energy of 1968. The wind is light and offshore, making for clean conditions. It’s big enough that only experienced surfers should be out there, but the conditions are excellent. Lock it in.

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.
