G’day, Rusty here. Looks like we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag ahead for the next couple of weeks at Bonny Hills. The week kicks off with some solid, clean surf, but then there’s a long, quiet spell before another window of promise shows up. Let’s get into it.
The first real standout is this Friday morning, the 10th of July. Bonny Hills is firing with a solid 6ft swell from the southeast, with a period of 10 seconds. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the southwest at 6 mph, keeping things clean. The combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate (742). The water is sitting at 67°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year. This is the best wave of the early run, no question.
Saturday morning, the 11th, drops off a bit to 3ft from the east-southeast, but the period stretches to 12 seconds. Winds are light from the north, cross-offshore, and it’s clean. The energy is moderate (519). It’s a smaller, longer-period groundswell—good for the point, but might not have as much grunt.
Sunday morning, the 12th, is a bit smaller again at 3ft from the east-southeast, but the wind swings to a true offshore from the west-northwest at 9 mph. Clean, but the energy is only moderate (224). A nice little session if you’re free.
Then we hit a dry patch. From Monday the 13th through to Wednesday the 15th, the swell drops right off. Waves are tiny, mostly under 2ft, and the energy is weak (values in the 60s and 70s). The wind is all over the place, but there’s just not enough push. This stretch is pretty flat.
Thursday the 16th sees a spike in size to 7ft from the south-southeast, but the onshore wind is a problem. It’s messy and cross-shore, so the quality is poor. The energy is moderate (547), but it’s not a paddle-friendly setup—more of a kite day if you’re into that.
Friday the 17th picks up slightly with 4ft from the east, but the wind is cross-offshore and the period is short at 7 seconds. The energy is moderate (275). It’s okay, but not a standout.
Now, the real shine for the long-range is Sunday morning, the 19th of July. This is the next true standout. Bonny Hills sees a 6ft swell from the east, with a period of 10 seconds. The wind is absolutely glassy—calm, zero knots from the north-northwest. The water is clean, and the energy is moderate (574). This is a session to circle on the calendar. It’s promising, but it’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on the forecast.
After that, the swell slowly fades through the rest of the week. Monday the 20th still has 5ft from the east, but the wind is gusty from the north-northeast on the afternoon. Tuesday the 21st has a clean 3ft with offshore wind, but it’s small. By Wednesday the 22nd, it’s back to tiny waves with weak energy.
So, to wrap it up: the best days are this Friday morning (10th) and that Sunday morning (19th). The rest of the window is either flat, messy, or just average. If you’re keen, get out there this Friday.
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.
