The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break this down.

We start on Thursday morning, July 30, at Bonny Hills. Water temp is about 66°, right on average for the season. Swell is 5 ft from the SSW with a short 7-second period, light cross-off wind. Clean enough but nothing special. The energy is moderate (449). By the afternoon, the wind turns onshore and it gets choppy – skip it.

Friday morning, July 31, is better: 6 ft from the S with an 11-second period, light cross-off. Cleaner, more shape, energy at 673. Good morning session. Afternoon gets bumpy.

Saturday morning, August 1: 5 ft SSE, 10 seconds, clean with light cross-off. Solid. Afternoon is cross-on and less clean.

The standout is Sunday, August 2. Morning is glassy – dead calm, wind at 3 mph from the north. Swell is 6 ft from the SE with a long 13-second period. That’s groundswell with power. Energy hits 1041 – strong. The point break setup loves this kind of swell. It’ll be clean and powerful. A bit much for beginners, and the crowd factor can pop up here sometimes.

Monday, August 3, drops to 4 ft, still clean. Tuesday, August 4, goes tiny – just 2 ft in the morning. Weak. That kicks off a quiet stretch.

Wednesday, August 5, morning is glassy with a 4 ft S swell, clean but mellow. Thursday and Friday mornings are clean but small, with wind picking up Friday to 12–16 mph, making it messy.

The next real highlight is Monday, August 10. Morning glassy, wind from the WSW at 3 mph. Swell 5 ft from the SE, 10 seconds, energy 529. Clean and fun.

Tuesday, August 11, the swell jumps to 8 ft from the SE, 11 seconds. Energy hits 1361 – big power. Cross-shore wind gives it some texture, but this is for experts only. Wednesday, August 12, peaks at 8 ft from the SSE, short 8-second period, but with clean cross-off wind. Energy is huge at 1598. This is serious, experienced-surfer-only territory.

Thursday and Friday, August 13 and 14, stay solid but smaller. Friday afternoon, August 14, is glassy with a 7 ft S swell, clean and punchy – a nice way to finish.

Best bets: Sunday, August 2, morning – glassy and long-period. For the big-wave crew, Wednesday, August 12, morning – massive, clean, and demanding.

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.
