The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ down the line for Bonny Hills.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but don’t write it off just yet. The first few days are pretty flat, with a small pulse of weak, short-period swell that won’t be worth your time. The real action starts to build from Thursday the 30th of July onward, with a solid increase in energy.

Thursday morning the 30th sees a clean 5ft swell from the SSW, with a light cross-offshore breeze. The wave energy is building, hitting a moderate 392. It’s not massive, but it’s a clean start to the pick-up. The morning session is the go here, as the afternoon gets messy with a cross-onshore breeze and a lumpy 6ft wave.

Friday the 31st is a real standout. The morning is clean again with a light SW breeze, and a solid 6ft swell from the S, with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is strong at 698, and the conditions are looking very good. This is groundswell, so expect some nice lines with good shape and longer lulls between sets. Get out there early before the wind swings.

Saturday the 1st of August is a bit of a mixed bag. The swell holds at 6ft from the SSE, but we’ve got rain showers and a light cross-shore breeze. The energy is still strong, but the conditions are marginal. It’s surfable, but not the pick of the week.

Now, for the true blue standout of the whole forecast: Sunday the 2nd of August. The morning is glassy, with a light NNW breeze. The swell is 6ft from the SE with a period of 12 seconds. The combined energy is a meaty 919. It’s clean, it’s powerful, and it’s going to be excellent. The afternoon gets a bit choppy as the wind turns onshore, so the early session is the one you want to be in the water for.

After that, the swell winds down through the week. Monday the 3rd has a clean 4ft in the morning, but it’s nothing special. Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th are small and weak, with energy dropping into the double digits. There’s a gap of a few days here with very little to get excited about.

Things get a little interesting again around Tuesday the 11th of August, with a clean 4ft NE swell building in the morning, and then a glassy 4ft NE swell in the afternoon. The energy is moderate at 203 and 255. It’s good, clean fun.

Then, for the long-range enthusiasts, keep an eye on Thursday the 13th of August. The morning looks excellent for experienced surfers, with a 6ft S swell and a 12-second period. The wind is light and cross-offshore, and the energy is a whopping 1127. That’s a proper pulse of groundswell. It’s a long way out, so it’s a promising one, but less certain.

Water temp is sitting around 67°F, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no need to dig out the thickest rubber just yet.

This is a point break that’s consistent, and it can get a crowd sometimes, so expect a few other keen locals out on the good days. The optimum swell direction is from the SE, which matches up nicely with the main pulses.

Stay stoked, and I’ll see you in the water.

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.
