The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break it down.
We're looking at Bonny Hills. It's a consistent point break that's perfect for beginners, exposed to the SE swell. Water temp is about 67.3°, which is standard for this time of year.
The first bit of action is Thursday afternoon, September 10th. A solid 7.9ft of SSE swell, but with a 12 mph cross-shore from the south, it's going to be a choppy mess. The energy is moderate at 1280, but the wind is the enemy.
The real standout is Friday morning, September 11th. We've got a clean 5.6ft swell from the SSE, with a light 6 mph cross-offshore breeze from the SW. That's going to make for some nice, clean waves. The energy is still moderate at 741, but the conditions will make it sweet. This is your best bet.
Saturday morning, the 12th, is glassy but small, with a 2.6ft swell. It's surfable, but don't expect much.
After that, we hit a flat spell. From Sunday the 13th to Tuesday the 15th, it's small and messy. The swell drops right off.
Midweek, Wednesday the 16th has a bumpy 7.2ft SSE swell, but it's short period and onshore. Not great. Thursday morning the 17th is a better chance with a 3.9ft SSE swell and glassy conditions, but it's not a standout.
The next one to watch is Saturday afternoon, September 19th. A 5.2ft SSE swell with a 12-second period and 853 of energy. The wind is a light cross-shore from the NE. Not perfect, but the most interesting in a while.
Sunday the 20th has some size again, with a 6.2ft swell in the morning and a big 7.9ft pulse in the afternoon from the S. The afternoon has a massive 2584 of energy, but it's coming with a light onshore breeze. That's a lot of power, but the wind might mess it up.
The last week is mostly small and average. Monday the 21st has a 6.6ft SE swell with 950 energy, but it's cross-shore. After that, it fades out.
So, bottom line: Friday morning, September 11th, is your first and best call for a clean, fun surf. Keep an eye on the 19th, but don't hold your breath.

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.
