The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Bonny Hills has lined up for the next couple weeks.
The forecast is a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a couple of sessions that will get you out of bed.
Friday morning, August 28th is the one to circle. We’re looking at a 1.6m swell from the SSE, with a 12-second period – that's real groundswell energy, with a combined energy of 753. The wind is glassy and light offshore from the NE. That means clean, peeling lines at this consistent point break. The water is a typical 68°, so grab the spring suit. If you can get out Friday morning, you’re in for a treat.
Saturday morning the 29th is a step down. The swell drops to 1.4m from the SSE, with a 10-second period (525 energy). The wind goes cross-shore from the SSW, so it’ll be a little bumpy. Surfable, but not the perfection of Friday.
Sunday morning the 30th of August is another good window. The swell is 1.3m (501 energy), but the wind swings cross-offshore from the SW, cleaning it up nicely. Smaller, but clean.
After that, we hit a quiet spell. From the 1st of September through the 6th, the swell drops under 1m and the winds are messy. Energy is low, sitting in the 100-200 range. Not much going on.
But then, looking into the second week, Monday morning, September 7th shows a big spike. The swell is forecast to hit 2.3m from the S with a 12-second period and a huge combined energy of 1403. That is serious power. For an exposed point break, that’s expert-only territory. The morning wind is cross-off from the SW, keeping it clean. It’s more than a week out, so keep an eye on it. The afternoon gets trashed by strong cross-onshore wind.
Bottom line: Friday morning, August 28th is your best call for clean, fun waves on a point break. The big stuff on the 7th is one for the experienced crew to watch.
Catch you in the water.

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.
