The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Bonny Hills over the next 16 days.
Right off the bat, the first few days are a snooze. We don’t see anything worth a look until Friday morning, August 21st, but it’s pretty weak – just 4ft of NE swell with a short 6-second period. Combined swell energy is low (141). Water temp sits at about 67°, pretty average for this time of year, no surprises there.
We go through a real flat spell from Saturday the 22nd into the middle of the week where the swell either drops way off or gets wrecked by bad wind.
The first real chance to get wet is Wednesday morning, August 26th. There’s a clean 5ft ENE swell, period up to 8 seconds, and a light cross-off wind from the WSW. Combined energy is moderate (282). It’s clean and rideable – a decent little session for sure.
But the absolute standout in this whole stretch is Friday morning, August 28th. We’ve got a nice 4ft S swell with an 11-second period – proper groundswell. Combined energy hits 474, which is moderate-to-strong. A light N wind, cross-off, will keep the surface glassy and clean. This is a point break that loves that S direction with a longer period, so the waves will have some shape and the paddle out won’t be a fight. Crowds are sometimes around, but a Friday morning might treat you right. That’s the one to circle.
The end of August and start of September is mostly small and bumpy, but Saturday morning, September 5th, shows a little pulse of 5ft SSE swell, 11-second period, and combined energy of 500 – strong numbers. The wind is cross from the NNE, so it won’t be perfect, but there’s enough juice to have fun if you’re keen.
Overall, Bonny Hills has a few bright spots, with Friday the 28th being the best of the bunch. Otherwise, you’ll be waiting for the right window.
Stay salty,
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.
