The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, same deal, just in feet and Fahrenheit.
We’re starting slow at Bonny Hills (point break), so don’t rush out until Monday the 27th of July.
That Monday morning is the clear winner: a clean 4ft S swell with glassy WSW winds. Water temp is a normal 67°, nothing unusual. The combined energy is moderate (270), and with a 9 second period, it’s got enough grunt. For a consistent point, that’s a dream session for everyone. It can get crowded sometimes, so get in early.
The rest of the first week gets messy. Thursday the 30th sees a jump to 7ft S swell with cross-off wind and strong energy (1708), but conditions are flagged as marginal. Friday the 31st morning brings a solid 8ft S swell with a long 11 second period and clean wind—expert territory at that size, with energy at 2648. Not for the faint-hearted.
Second week, the big one is Monday the 10th of August. Morning shows a 10ft ESE swell, long 12 second period, strong energy at 2517, but choppy with cross-on wind. By afternoon, it’s a massive 12ft E swell, energy at 3439, but it’s too big for this break and hammered by heavy rain. That’s a kitesurf day.
Between those, a few clean waist-high mornings like Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th, but nothing special.
Bottom line: Monday 27th July morning is your session. The second week has size but it’s mostly a write-off for paddlers. Forecasts can change, so keep checking in.
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.
