The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Look, we've got a bit of a slow start. The first few days are pretty average, but we've got a real standout window coming up that will make it all worth it. Hold tight.
Friday morning kicks off with a 5.2ft S swell but a cross-off wind makes it a bit messy, and the energy is weak (351). Friday afternoon's a no-go. Saturday morning, July 25th, is where it's at. Bonny Hills is going to be a gem. We're looking at a solid 6.2ft SSE groundswell with a very long 13-second period, and the wind is going completely glassy. The water's sitting at 67.1°, bang on average for this time of year. The combined energy is strong (1211), and this is the best on offer. It's a point break, so it'll handle that long period beautifully, and it's consistent. Expect some company though, as crowds are sometimes around. This is a standout for experienced surfers, but the quality will be excellent. Saturday afternoon drops to 5.2ft S but stays glassy, so still a fun session.
Sunday morning, July 26th, is still a good call with a 4.6ft SSE swell and a clean cross-off breeze. The energy is moderate (543). Sunday afternoon, the wind goes cross-on and it gets messy. Monday and Tuesday are small and weak, with nothing to write home about. Wednesday morning, July 30th, sees a 4.9ft S swell come up with a cross-off wind and clean conditions, but the period is short (8 seconds) and the energy is moderate (340). It's a marginal option.
Friday, August 1st, you get a 3.9ft SSE swell with a clean cross-off, but it's still not the big one. Then we hit a flat spell. From Saturday, August 2nd, through to Tuesday, August 5th, it's tiny, with waves under 3 feet. Surfable but very ordinary. The morning of Wednesday, August 6th, brings a jump back to 4.6ft S swell, but it's a short-period windswell (7 seconds). The energy is moderate (301). It's clean, but not a standout.
Finally, on Friday, August 8th, we get a tease. A 2.3ft SSE swell, but with an incredibly long 18-second period. That's a very long period groundswell. The energy is strong (525). For a point break like Bonny Hills, that could be really interesting, but it's a long way out. The next morning, Saturday, August 9th, shows a 3.0ft S swell with a 13-second period and glassy conditions. It's another promising call for the second week, but we'll have to see how it develops.
The standout is clear: Saturday morning, July 25th, at Bonny Hills. 6.2ft SSE, glassy, very long period. That's the one to pencil in.

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.
