The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and here's your surf outlook for Bonny Hills.
We've got a mixed bag of swell and wind over the next sixteen days, but to be honest, there's nothing that really stands out as a true classic. The first few days are looking pretty ordinary. Conditions are a bit messy with a lot of onshore and cross-shore winds, and the swell's not doing anything special. The energy's low to moderate, with combined energy values around 322 to 652, which is not really packing much punch. The period is short, mostly 7 to 9 seconds, so the waves will be weak and crumbly.
The water temperature at Bonny Hills is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The best of the bunch is shaping up to be the morning of Tuesday, 25 August. That's when we get a clean offshore breeze from the WNW, with a 4ft swell from the ENE at a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is a moderate 387, and the wind is light, making for glassy conditions. It's a good beginner-friendly size, but the long period may make it a bit fat and breaking straight at the beach, so it might be better for a point break. Still, it's the cleanest we'll see.
The morning of Wednesday, 26 August also looks promising, with a 7ft swell from the SSW and a cross-offshore wind, but the energy is moderate (667) and the period is 9 seconds. That's getting a bit big for beginners, and the wind is a moderate breeze, so it won't be perfect. It's something to keep an eye on, but the Tuesday morning is the one to pencil in.
After that, things drop off again. The second week sees a lot of small, weak swell with poor conditions and low energy, so don't get your hopes up for a run of good days.
Rusty.

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.
