The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s cast an eye over the Bonny Hills stretch. We’re looking at a solid run of surf on the cards, but it’s a bit of a patience game to get the real gems. The first few days are a bit so-so, but the second half of this forecast period holds some serious potential.

Kicking off on Monday the 20th, we’ve got some chest-high swell around 8ft, but it’s coming from the east with a light cross-onshore breeze. The energy is pretty meaty (1424), but the wind just isn’t doing it any favours – it’s a bit of a messy setup. That theme continues into Tuesday the 21st morning, but then something magic happens. The wind drops right out, goes glassy, and we get a clean 5ft E swell. It’s a bit smaller, but the energy is still moderate (594). For a point break like Bonny Hills, this glassy morning is the real standout for the early part of the week – clean, easy paddling, and those long lines will be peeling nicely.

Now, the real headline act comes in on Thursday the 30th of July. We’ve got a substantial pulse of SSW groundswell pushing in at 10ft, and the wind is going clean offshore from the WNW. That’s the stuff dreams are made of. The energy is incredibly strong (2446), and with a period of 10 seconds, these waves will have proper punch. This is expert territory, mind you – 10ft is not for the faint of heart. The current is going to be ripping, and the sets will be big and powerful. This is the best session on offer, no question.

Friday the 31st of July sees the swell even bigger, hitting 12ft from the south with a long 13-second period, but the wind swings around to a cross-onshore, which will chop it up. The energy is massive (7011), but it’s honestly too big for this break and the wind will make it a battle. Stick to Thursday morning.

There’s a bit of a lull after that big weekend, with the swell dropping back to the 6ft range by Monday the 3rd of August. The morning of the 3rd looks clean again with a light cross-offshore breeze, offering some fun, manageable waves. Finally, Tuesday the 4th of August wraps up with glassy conditions and a 5ft SSE swell, which is a lovely, clean end to the run.

So, best bets: without a doubt, the stand-out session is the morning of Thursday the 30th of July for the big, clean offshore swell. The glassy morning of Tuesday the 21st of July is a close second for a cleaner, more relaxed session. Be patient for the first few days.

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.
