The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. Let’s break down Bonny Hills over the next 16 days. The first week’s pretty flat and messy, but the second week has a couple of rippers if you’re willing to wait.
On Sunday August 9th, we start with a tiny 3ft swell from the ENE, 9-second period, and weak energy (195). It’s clean in the morning with a light cross-off breeze, but the waves are ordinary. Afternoon gets messy with cross wind.
Monday August 10th afternoon is the first real flicker – the wind turns offshore from the WNW, the swell hits 6ft from the NE with a short period, and the energy goes moderate (409). It cleans up nice, but the short period means it’s not very powerful.
Tuesday and Wednesday are small again – around 3ft swells, glassy or clean at times, but no power.
From Thursday August 13th through the weekend, a new S swell comes in, but the wind is mostly cross or cross-on. Thursday afternoon has 7ft S swell (832 energy) but gets chopped. Friday August 14th morning has 7ft S swell and strong energy (1039), but cross wind ruins it. The surf is too lumpy for good paddling.
There’s a gap with no solid recommendations from Sunday August 16th to Wednesday August 19th – onshore winds, rain, and messy conditions. Swell sizes from 5ft to 7ft, but the wind is from the S, ESE, or SE, making it poor.
The real standout is Thursday August 20th morning. The swell hits 8ft from the ESE (moderate period) with a strong 731 energy. The wind goes offshore from the SW, so it’s clean. This is expert territory – over 8ft, so not for beginners. Good size, decent power.
Another banger is Friday August 21st morning. A 6ft swell from the SSE, again moderate period, but the combined energy is massive at 1167. The wind is cross-off from the SW, keeping it clean. This one’s excellent for experienced surfers – direction is closer to the optimum SE.
Sunday August 23rd morning also looks promising – 7ft easterly swell with a long 12-second period and 1383 energy. The wind is cross-off from the north. But it’s 2 weeks out, so less certain, and the long period might make it straight for a beach break.
Bonny Hills is a consistent point break, good for beginners on small days, but the big stuff is for the experts. Crowds are possible. The best windows are the mornings of August 20th and 21st – get out there.
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.
