The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down what's coming for Bonny Hills.
Water temp is about 67°F, which is pretty standard for this time of year.
The first week is a bit of a dud. From Sunday the 23rd through to the end of the month, it's mostly poor to marginal. The swell energy is weak, mostly in the low hundreds, and the wind is inconsistent. Monday 25th morning has a light cross-off breeze, but the swell is only 2ft from the ENE, so it's not much. Wednesday 26th morning is glassy, but it's a weak 4ft NE swell. You could get wet, but don't expect much.
The real highlight, the one you want to target, is Tuesday 1st September. We've got clean offshore wind from the WNW, and a solid 4ft swell from the SSE. The period is 13 seconds, so it's a proper groundswell with good shape, and the combined energy is 513 – a solid jump in power. The morning will be clean, and the afternoon turns glassy. This is the best bet of the whole forecast. Bonny Hills is a consistent point, so it'll handle this direction well.
The day before, Monday 31st August morning, has a big 4ft swell from the SSE, but with a period of 17 seconds – that's a very long period groundswell. The combined energy is a massive 1301. The wind is light but cross-shore. It's a bit of a gamble, but that energy is real. A point break like Bonny Hills can really shine with those long lines.
After that, it drops off. Wednesday 2nd September is tiny, and by Thursday 3rd September, we're down to 1ft with almost no energy. The following Sunday 6th September has a glassy morning with a 3ft S swell and combined energy of 216. It's a nice little session, but nothing like the punch of the 1st.
If you're only going to make one call, make it Tuesday 1st September. That's the standout.
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.
