G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Bonny Hills. It’s a point break that’s consistent and exposed to the swell, and it’s a solid beginner-friendly spot. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.
The first bit of decent surf shows up on Saturday morning, July 11th. We’ve got a clean 3 ft swell from the ESE with a nice 12-second period, and it’s glassy as – just a light NNW breeze. The energy’s moderate (495), and it’s gonna feel good out there. That’s your best bet early on. After that, the afternoon gets a bit grubby with a cross-on NE wind and a bumpy 4 ft wave, so don’t hold your breath.
Sunday morning, July 12th, is clean with a 3 ft ESE swell and a moderate offshore W wind at 12 mph, but the period drops to 10 seconds, and the energy’s only 192. It’s surfable, but pretty ordinary. The next few days are a bit of a write-off – Monday through to Tuesday are small and weak, with under 3 ft waves and lousy wind at times. There’s a gap with no real standouts.
Then Wednesday, July 15th, things get punchy. The morning brings a 6 ft SW swell with a cross-off wind, but it’s a short 8-second period and the wind’s blowin’ 16 mph – feels messy. The afternoon blows up with a 10 ft SSE swell and a 10-second period, but it’s onshore and rain’s comin’. The energy’s massive (1654), but that’s only for experts, and the cross-chop is ugly. Thursday and Friday stay rough with cross-on winds and choppy waves around 5 ft to 8 ft, all poor conditions.
Things start to clean up again on Sunday, July 19th. That morning has a 4 ft ESE swell with a 9-second period, and it’s dead calm – just a light WSW cross-off breeze. The energy’s moderate (356) and it’s glassy. That’s a nice little window. Monday morning, July 20th, is also looking good: a 5 ft E swell, 9-second period, and a light NNW wind keeping it clean. Energy’s up to 490. Those two mornings are the standouts in the second week.
Tuesday, July 21st, has a 6 ft E swell with a longer 11-second period, and a strong offshore SW wind of 12 mph keeps it clean in the morning, but it’s a bit bigger and more powerful (751 energy). That’s a solid option for the experienced crew. After that, Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd fade out with smaller, weaker swells and messy winds. The last few days from the 24th to the 26th are tiny and not worth a paddle.
Overall, the best on offer is Saturday morning, July 11th – that glassy 3 ft ESE swell is the pick of the first week. For the second week, grab Sunday morning, July 19th, or Monday morning, July 20th – both clean with decent energy. The bigger stuff on the 15th and 21st is for experts only.
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.
