The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Bonny Hills.

First up, the water temp is sitting at 66°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year—nothing weird going on there.

We've got a bit of a slow start, but the first real look comes on Friday morning, 31st July. Swell is a solid 7 ft from the S with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy is a strong 1672. That's a lot of power, but the wind is a cross-shore at 9 mph, which will put a bit of a chop on it. It's a bit messy and marginal, but there's size there.

The standout window is Sunday morning, 2nd August. That's the one to wait for. The swell drops to a clean 6 ft, but it's a long-period 13-second groundswell from the SE. Combined energy is a hefty 1054, so plenty of push. The kicker is the wind: glassy, dead calm, NNW at 3 mph. For a point break like Bonny Hills, that is prime. The waves will be clean, lined up, and proper. It's a consistent spot, but you might have some company as crowds are "sometimes" around. This is the best on offer.

The following week sees a few more windows. Monday 3rd August morning has a clean 4 ft from the SE with light cross-off winds, good for a fun session. Wednesday 5th August morning is small but glassy with a 3 ft SSW swell, and Thursday 6th August morning is also glassy with 4 ft from the S. Friday 7th August morning is the same story: glassy, 4 ft S swell. These are all nice, clean, smaller days for the crew who don't want the big stuff.

Things get interesting again on Saturday 15th August. The morning shows a 8 ft S swell, but with a short 7-second period and cross-shore wind. That's a lot of close-out, bumpy water. The afternoon is a different beast: a massive 13 ft SSE swell with an 11-second period. The combined energy is a huge 3859. That's a lot of water. The forecast says it's too big for this break, and I agree. At that size, it's only for the experts, and even then, it'll be a washing machine. The wind is onshore, too. For paddle surfing, it's a no-go. But if you’re into it, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing.

For the rest of the second week, it's mostly small and clean mornings with the odd offshore breeze, but nothing that will get your heart racing. Tuesday 11th August afternoon has a clean 4 ft S swell with a gentle offshore wind, which is a nice little bonus.

So, to sum it up: Sunday morning, 2nd August is your standout. Set the alarm.

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.
