The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's comin' for Bonny Hills.

First few days are a bit of a dud—small, messy, not worth paddlin' out. Water temp is about 20°, right on average for now.

The big highlight is Wednesday the 16th. We're lookin' at a solid S swell, 12ft, period around 10 seconds. That's a lot of water movin'—combined energy is 2499. But it's big and cross-shore, so only for the experienced crew. The morning has a cleaner cross-off wind with 10ft swell, but still serious.

The best all-round session is Saturday the 19th morning. Glassy, no wind, 4ft SE swell with a 11-second period. That's clean, fun, and manageable for most. Combined energy is 644—moderate but good.

Tuesday the 22nd morning is another glassy winner: 5ft SSE swell, 11-second period, 474 combined energy. Again, clean as a whistle.

Saturday the 26th morning has glassy conditions with 6ft NE swell, but the period is short at 7 seconds—still fun, just not as powerful.

So, the two standout sessions are Saturday the 19th morning and Tuesday the 22nd morning. The 16th is for the brave. Don't waste your time on the first week—wait for the good stuff.

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.
