The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down the Bonny Hills outlook. This is a solid point break, consistent and open to the swell, so it’s got the right setup. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.
The start is a total dud. Sunday the 6th is hopeless with a weak 0.9m swell from the SSW and a short 5-second period, and the wind is all cross and messy. The energy is nothing (113). The afternoon gets bigger at 2.1m, but a 30 km/h southerly cross-shore makes it a washing machine. Monday the 7th is junk, too, with lumpy, choppy conditions. The swell is too short-period and wind-chopped to surf.
Tuesday the 8th stays poor, with the swell building but never clean. The combined energy climbs to 735 on Tuesday afternoon, but the wind is still a cross-shore mess.
Now, circle Wednesday morning, September 9th on your calendar. The wind goes glassy, ENE at 5 km/h, and we’ve got a 1.6m SSE swell with a 9-second period. The energy is a healthy 464, and it’s described as “glassy.” That’s the only morning of clean, lined-up waves in the whole forecast. The swell is a bit south of the ideal SE direction, but it’s enough to wrap in. This is the absolute standout.
The pulse keeps going. Thursday the 10th brings a massive jump in energy – 3.0m on Thursday morning, with combined energy of 1538–1565. That’s well over 2.5m, so it’s expert-only, and the wind is a steady cross-shore, making it a heavy, bumpy grind. Not pretty, but powerful.
For the second week, the best bet is Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th. The winds swing light and cross-offshore from the north, and the swell sits at 1–1.4m from the SSE at 10 seconds. The energy is moderate (378–476), and the conditions are clean. It’s a long-range call, but it looks promising.
After that, the swell fades fast. By Sunday the 20th, it’s tiny again – 0.4m on the morning with glassy conditions, but barely a ripple. The last few days are a quiet fade-out.
So, the takeaway: the first few days are a wash. The standout is Wednesday morning, September 9th – glassy, 1.6m, clean. The second best is the run from Friday the 18th through Saturday the 19th, with clean offshore winds and a solid 1.4m swell. The big 3.0m day on Thursday the 10th is for heavy-water experts only.

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.

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.
