Table - best surf conditions forecast for Bonny Hills over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s heading our way for the next couple weeks.
The start is all about power, but the wind is going to be a pain. We get some serious size early on, but the conditions aren't quite making the most of it. Then the ocean goes to sleep for a few days, before waking up with a proper groundswell right at the end of the forecast.
On Wednesday the 8th, Bonny Hills (Bonny Hills) is seeing a 10ft SE swell, with energy in the strong range at 2265. The problem is a cross-shore wind, and the report says it's "marginal." Thursday the 9th is similar, around 8ft from the SE, but that cross-shore and cross-onshore breeze keeps things choppy and messy.
Friday the 10th is the best of the first week. Swell drops to a cleaner 6ft from the SE, and with a light cross-offshore breeze in the morning, it cleans right up. The energy is moderate at 655, but the combo of size and clean wind makes it the pick of the early days. Saturday morning the 11th is tiny, only 3ft, but with a glassy offshore NNW breeze, it’ll be a fun little clean wave.
After that, the ocean goes quiet. From Sunday the 12th right through to the middle of the following week, there’s hardly any swell. The waves drop under 3ft and the energy levels fall off a cliff into the double digits. There are a few glassy mornings, like Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th, but with 3ft and 2ft from the S respectively, it’s barely worth paddling out. The water temp is 67°, which is about normal for this time of year.
The long-range forecast brings the real hope. On Sunday the 19th of July, we get a clean, glassy morning with a 5ft S swell – energy jumps back to 501, with very good conditions. But Monday the 20th is the one to circle. Clean, offshore wind both morning and afternoon with a 5ft to 5ft E swell, a long 12-second period, and strong energy in the 800-900 range. This is proper groundswell, meaning long lines and good shape.
So to keep it simple: the early size is there but blown out, the middle is flat, and the absolute best bet is Monday the 20th. Clean offshore wind and a quality, long-period E swell. That's the one.
Rusty.

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.
