Bonny Hills Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks. Bonny Hills is our main focus here, and honestly, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. This is a solid, consistent point break that is beginner-friendly, but the upcoming window is a test of patience.

Right off the bat, we’ve got nothing happening for the first few days. Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th are basically write-offs with small, poor surf and cross-shore winds. You’d be wasting your time. Wednesday the 16th starts to show some size but with a lot of wind and chop, making it messy.

Then things get a bit more interesting late in the week. The real standout is Thursday the 17th morning. The swell jumps up to a solid 10ft from the SSE, with a period of 11 seconds, pushing a strong wave energy of 2278. It’s clean with a cross-offshore wind from the SW at 15 mph. That’s a lot of water moving, and it’s going to be a challenge – over 8ft is expert territory – but for the experienced crew, this is the best session on offer. The water temp is around average for this time of year, no big anomaly.

Friday the 18th morning is your next good chance. The swell drops to a more manageable 6ft from the SSE, but the real magic is the glassy conditions. 3 mph of SSE breeze and a glassy surface. That’s a beautiful morning surf, clean and inviting, with moderate energy (450). It’s a proper window for everyone.

Saturday the 19th morning also looks promising with 4ft SSE swell and glassy conditions again, but the energy is still decent at 443. The crowds at Bonny Hills can get *sometimes* busy, so you might have some company on those standouts.

After that, it falls away again. Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st are back to messy or poor conditions. The 21st afternoon brings a big 12ft swell from the S, but it’s onshore and choppy – that’s a kite-surfing day, not a paddle day.

The second week is quieter and less certain. Tuesday the 22nd morning has a 7ft SSE swell with a cross breeze, but it’s not clean. The rest of the week is mostly small, poor, or windy. Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th are nothing special. The very end of the period, around Sunday the 27th and Monday the 28th, offers small, marginal waves only.

Overall, your best two bets are the big, expert-heavy Thursday the 17th morning and the glassy, all-rounder Friday the 18th morning. If you’re not an expert, go for Friday. The rest of the time, you’re waiting.

Rusty.
