The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s heading our way over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s some promise if you’re patient.
For the first few days, it’s pretty grim. We’ve got solid swell showing up, but the wind is a mess – cross-on and choppy, making a mess of things. The water temperature is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
The real standout window opens up on Monday afternoon, the 20th of July. That’s when things come together. We’ve got a clean 8ft swell from the east with a 10-second period, giving us moderate wave energy (1364). The wind goes glassy, which is a huge plus. Bonny Hills, a consistent point break, should be firing with clean, lined-up waves. This is the pick of the forecast for experienced surfers – the swell is solid but not out of control, and that glassy surface will have the point reeling. Keep in mind it’s an exposed break, so it’ll get the full force of that east swell, but the wind will be perfect.
Tuesday morning, the 21st, is also looking very good with glassy conditions and a 6ft east swell (781), but the Monday afternoon window is the one to circle.
We then get a run of smaller, cleaner days through the middle of the week, with some decent options on Wednesday and Thursday mornings, but the size drops off. The 5ft glassy conditions on Wednesday the 22nd morning are worth a look for a fun session on a smaller board.
Heading into the second week, we see a return of some energy. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th of July show glassy conditions with a 6ft swell from the south-southeast, but the period is short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit bumpy and less powerful. It’s clean, though, so it’s surfable. The real highlight in that second week is Tuesday morning, the 28th of July. We’re looking at clean conditions with a 4ft southerly swell at 9 seconds – solid energy (612) and clean offshore winds. That’s a promising call for a decent morning session, but it’s far out, so don’t set your watch by it yet.
Overall, keep your eyes on Monday the 20th afternoon. That’s the one.
Rusty.

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.
