Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on what Bonny Hills is serving up.

First off, the outlook is a real mixed bag. For the first week, from Sunday the 12th through to Sunday the 19th, it's a write-off. The swell is either tiny, the wind is trash, or it's just way too big for this spot. You'll be sitting on the beach watching the whitewater for a while.

The real standout, the one to get excited about, is the morning of Tuesday the 21st of July. That's the pick of the bunch. We’re looking at glassy conditions with a solid 7ft swell from the East, a 11-second period. That’s proper groundswell, and the combined energy is a massive 1115. It's big enough to keep the beginners out, but for the experienced crew, that's going to be an epic session. The offshore wind from the WNW will have those point break lines looking perfect. It says crowds are 'sometimes', but for waves like that, expect company.

The morning of Monday the 20th of July is also a great call. Slightly smaller at 8ft, but still packing a punch (1397 combined energy) and clean cross-offshore winds. Another top-tier window for the experienced surfers.

If you want something smaller and friendlier, the morning of Thursday the 23rd of July is your best bet. A glassy 3ft East swell, clean and perfect for a longboard or a beginner session. The water temp is around 67°, which is normal for this time of year.

After that, the surf drops off through the final week. The 25th of July has some small, clean waves, but nothing special. The 26th and 27th are almost flat.

So, the message is clear: the first week is a dud, circle Tuesday the 21st for the best waves, and keep the 23rd in mind for a clean, smaller session.

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.
