The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Bonny Hills. This is a consistent point break that’s exposed to the swell, good for beginners. Water temp is about average for the time of year, around 66°, nothing wild.
Right now, it’s flat. Thursday afternoon has a tiny 1ft SSE swell with no energy to speak of. Not worth paddling out.
Friday morning is a little better. Glassy wind out of the WSW at 3 mph, with a 2ft SSE groundswell, 10-second period. Moderate energy. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Afternoon gets choppy.
Saturday is a mess. Small and cross-shore. Sunday morning steps up to a 4ft ENE swell, 9-second period, with a clean cross-off breeze from the north at 9 mph. Energy is solid. Still marginal, though. Sunday afternoon gets blown out.
Monday morning is the first real standout. A clean offshore wind from the WNW at 16 mph, with 3ft ENE swell at 9 seconds. Moderate energy, clean conditions. Small but tidy.
Now, Tuesday morning, 11th of August – that’s the one. Glassy conditions with the wind swinging west at 3 mph, and a 3ft SSE groundswell rolling in at 11 seconds. The energy is strong (482). The wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” This is the pick of the first week. The longer period means better waves, and with that glassy wind, it’s going to be super clean. Beginners will be fine.
Wednesday morning, 12th August, is another good one. A 4ft S swell at 11 seconds, with a clean cross-off breeze from the north. Energy is moderate. Conditions are clean.
Thursday morning, 13th August, has a fresh 19 mph WSW cross-off, but the swell is a messy 5ft SW with a short 8-second period. Not great.
Now, Friday the 14th of August – huge alert. The morning shows a 12ft SSE swell with a 12-second period, and the energy is massive at 3272. The wind is light and clean. But it’s predicted to be too big for this break. For a beginner-friendly point, 12ft is expert territory. The afternoon hits 13ft with 13-second period and energy at 7334. That’s massive. Only for the experienced crew. The long period groundswell will be hitting hard, but the point should hold its shape.
Saturday the 15th still has a big 10ft S swell, but the wind is moderate. Still only for experts. The rest of the second week trends down in size, from 7ft to 4ft, but the wind stays mostly cross or onshore, keeping the quality poor. The morning of the 21st of August has a tiny 2ft SE swell with a clean cross-off breeze, but the energy is weak.
So, the standout is Tuesday morning, the 11th of August. That’s the one to circle. The other highlight is the massive swell event on the 14th, but that’s only for the brave. For the rest, it’s a lot of waiting.

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.
