The Lowdown
Righto, let’s look at what’s coming up for Bonny Hills. It’s a point break that handles swell from the SE, and it’s a consistent beginner-friendly spot. The water is sitting at 67°, which is spot on average for this time of year, so no drama there.
The first few days are pretty ordinary. Tuesday the 28th has a tiny 2ft S swell with a short 8-second period, and while the morning is glassy, the energy is weak (81). That’s not enough to get excited about. Wednesday and Thursday are even smaller, with swell dropping to 1ft and 3ft, and the combined energy stays low. It’s a bit of a slow start, honestly.
The first real standout comes Friday morning, 31st July. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the S at 10 seconds, with a clean cross-off wind from the SW. The combined energy is moderate (587), and the conditions are looking very good. That’s the session to target early on.
Then we’ve got a bit of a gap through the weekend, with Saturday looking okay but not great, and Sunday morning on the 2nd of August is another highlight. The swell is 5ft from the SSE at 11 seconds, with a slight cross-off wind from the N and glassy conditions. The combined energy is moderate (576), and the forecast says very good surf. That’s the best of the first week.
After that, the surf drops off again through the first half of the next week, with smaller swells and ordinary conditions. But hold on – Thursday the 6th of August morning brings a solid 7ft S swell at 10 seconds, with glassy conditions and strong energy (916). That’s a big step up, and it’s looking very good. For the more experienced crew, Friday the 7th of August is the standout of the whole run. The swell hits 8ft from the SSE at 10 seconds, with clean cross-off winds and excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The combined energy is strong (2524). This is the big one, but it’s only for the skilled crowd – too big for beginners.
The weekend after that, Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th of August mornings, both offer glassy 4ft SE swells, with good energy and clean conditions. Solid options for a broader range of surfers.
So, overall, the best on offer is the Friday the 7th of August session for the experienced crew, with the Sunday morning on the 2nd of August being the pick for the less confident surfers. Keep an eye on the long-range stuff – it’s promising but not locked in yet.

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.
