The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, looking at the next few weeks for Bonny Hills. It’s a classic point break that’s pretty consistent and works best with a SE swell.
The water temp is sitting at 67°, which is spot on for this time of year – no surprises there.
We’ve got a bit of a wait for the good stuff. The first few days are pretty ordinary. Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th are a write-off with messy, cross-onshore winds and a big, jumbled 10ft swell that’s just gonna be a washing machine. The combined swell energy is huge (1803), but it’s no good for paddling.
Tuesday the 21st morning is where it finally turns on. The swell drops to a clean 5ft from the east, with a decent 10-second period, and the wind goes glassy. That’s your first real window – clean, rippable waves at the point. The energy is moderate (594). It’s the standout of the first week, no doubt.
The rest of the week is a mix of small, clean spells and windy afternoons. Friday the 24th morning is worth a mention: a solid 7ft south swell rolls in with a clean offshore wind. The energy is strong (1094), and it’s labelled as excellent for experienced surfers – that’s a big call. The 7ft size is a bit much for beginners, but for the crew who know what they’re doing, it’ll be firing.
Into the second week, things get more unpredictable. Saturday the 26th morning has a clean 5ft SSE swell (810 energy), but it’s a week out, so treat it as a promising maybe. The real long-range standout is Saturday the 1st of August morning. We’re looking at a 6ft SSE swell with a 13-second period and a clean cross-off wind. The energy is strong (1123), and the period is long enough to draw some proper lines, though on a point break like Bonny Hills, that long period should be a treat. It’s a highlight, but keep your fingers crossed.
The very end of the run, on Sunday the 2nd of August morning, has a glassy 5ft south swell that’ll be a nice, clean session to wrap things up.
Keep in mind, Bonny Hills can get crowded sometimes, so get there early for the best of it.
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.
