The Lowdown

Alright, listen up, punters. Let’s talk Bonny Hills for the next two weeks. It’s a bit of a slow burner, so don’t be hasty.

The opening weekend of July 18th and 19th is a total loss. You’ve got 6 to 10 feet of lumpy ESE swell, thanks to a short 8 to 10-second period, and the wind’s onshore from the SSE. It’s just a jumbled, choppy mess (energy reading in the hundreds to thousands). Monday ain’t much better.

Things finally turn the corner Tuesday the 21st. The morning offers a clean 5-foot E swell with a light offshore N breeze. It’s the first time it’ll be looking half decent. Wednesday the 22nd stays clean but the swell drops to barely 3 feet.

Now, for the real highlight: Friday the 24th of July. This is for the experienced crew only. We’re looking at a solid 8-foot S swell with a clean cross-offshore SW wind. The energy’s cranking (1852). This is big, powerful, and not for the faint-hearted. The experts will be frothing.

The following weekend (25th and 26th) cools off with some glassy mornings and smaller, cleaner 4 to 5-foot swells. Good for a fun session. The long-range stuff around the 28th looks promising but is a bit of a gamble. And then, Saturday the 1st of August throws a curveball – a 7-foot NE swell early with clean wind. Could be a tasty little session before the wind swings.

Plenty of average days, but a couple of clean windows if you pick your moments.

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.
