Bonny Hills Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the stretch ahead at Bonny Hills. It’s a point break, exposed to the swell, and consistent. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so that’s a bonus. The water’s sitting at about 67°, which is right around where it should be for this time of year.

Right off the bat, Saturday morning is looking tidy. We’ve got a solid 6ft SSE swell with a 13-second period pushing through. The wave energy is strong at 1201, and with the wind glassy out of the WNW, it’s going to be clean. This one’s for the experienced crew though; that’s a bit of size. Saturday afternoon drops to 5ft from the south, still glassy, but the period shortens a touch. Sunday morning holds a similar 5ft south swell, winds staying clean with a cross-off from the SW. The energy’s still moderate at 607.

Now Monday morning, the swell drops to 4ft, period down to 9 seconds, and it’s glassy again. Nice little session for a beginner or a cruiser. After that, the week gets skinny. Tuesday sees the swell drop right off to 3ft and below, with weak energy down in the 80s. Wednesday is flat and messy with a 2ft SSW windswell of only 5 seconds and building wind. Thursday picks up a touch to 5ft, but the wind is cross-off and strong, and the period is short. The quality’s not there. Friday’s looking poor too, with wind and chop.

The first gap in quality hits from Tuesday through Friday. That’s four days of mostly poor or marginal surf. Not much to get excited about.

Then, here’s the standout. Saturday, August 3rd, Monday morning. It’s flat. But the real gem is Tuesday, August 5th. That morning we’ve got a 7ft SE swell, period at 8 seconds, and the energy is strong at 1121. The wind is glassy out of the WNW. This is for the experienced surfer again; it’s a proper size. Wednesday morning holds a 7ft SE swell, but the wind goes cross-shore. Not quite as clean.

The next big highlight is Thursday, August 7th. The morning shows a 6ft ESE swell with an 11-second period and glassy conditions from the north. Strong energy at 1161. That’s another day for the advanced crew. The vibe carries into Friday, August 8th, with a 5ft east swell of 12 seconds and clean cross-off winds from the NNW. Energy’s at 744, which is solid. Both Thursday and Friday mornings are looking really, really good.

The week two stuff holds promise. August 9th Saturday afternoon has a 3ft ESE swell of 10 seconds, glassy. Chill. Then Sunday, August 10th, the winds go strong offshore out of the NW at 20 km/h, with a 4ft east swell and a period of 12 seconds. Clean and lined up. The afternoon gets bigger at 5ft east swell, 13-second period, still strong offshore. Energy at 727. That Sunday looks like the best long-range call, though it’s a bit far out to lock in.

So, for the best on offer, I’d be circling Saturday July 26th morning and Thursday August 7th morning. Both have size, glass, and that clean point break setup. The Sunday August 10th session is a promising long-range shout.

Stay safe out there.

Rusty.
