The Lowdown

G’day, it’s Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the ocean’s got lined up for the next couple of weeks for Bonny Hills. It’s a bit of a slow start, then one standout window that’s worth circling on the calendar.

We begin with a couple of days of nothing special. Saturday the 8th is flat and pretty ordinary – there’s a tiny 2ft SSE swell with weak energy, and the wind is just messing things up. It’s surfable but you’d be scratching for a wave. Sunday the 9th isn’t much better, with a touch more size (up to 3ft) but onshore and messy. You’re looking at a two-day gap of no real recommendations.

Then things switch on for Monday the 10th. This is the first standout of the run. The swell jumps to a solid 8ft from the NE with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy is strong. Morning has a light NNW cross-offshore breeze, and the call is for very good conditions. This is a proper fun-size day, not for the learners though – at 8ft, it’s pushing well past the beginner zone. If you’re comfortable in some juice, get out there early. The afternoon drops a bit to 5ft but still has clean offshore NW wind.

Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th drop right back down to under 3ft. Just small, weak dribbles – fine for a longboard if you’re desperate, but nothing to get excited about. Thursday the 13th sees another pulse, with up to 7ft from the S by the afternoon, but the wind swings cross-shore and it gets lumpy. Not the one.

Friday the 14th is your second true standout. The morning is glassy – dead still with a 5ft S swell rolling in at 10 seconds. Energy is strong. This is clean, lined-up surf at Bonny Hills. This spot, which is consistent and exposed to the SE swell, will be handling it nicely. The offshore is light SSW, and the report calls for very good conditions. This is the pick of the bunch if you can only make one session. Just remember the afternoon turns onshore and the quality drops off a cliff.

After that, the weekend and the following week are pretty bleak. Saturday the 15th starts with a small 4ft S swell, but the wind is all over the shop and it’s messy. From Sunday the 16th right through to Thursday the 20th, it’s mostly small, onshore, and poor – lots of sub-3ft dribble with rain showers around. There’s a serious lull in quality here. Friday the 21st offers a small clean 3ft SSW swell in the morning, but the afternoon is already mangled. Saturday the 22nd has a bit more size again, but the morning is only marginal and it gets chopped out later.

The long-range stuff into the 23rd looks weak and messy too. So, the bottom line: the two mornings to focus on are Monday the 10th for size and power, and Friday the 14th for that glassy, clean perfection. The rest is mostly waiting around.

One thing to note – the water temp at Bonny Hills at the start of this run is 66°F, which is pretty much right on average for this time of year. No surprises there.

Alright, stay stoked and pick your windows.

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.
