The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what Bonny Hills has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.
First up, the water temp is sitting at 67°, right on the money for this time of year, so no surprises there.
It's a slow start this week. Thursday morning the 23rd, we’ve got a tiny 3 ft ESE swell rolling in. Don't get too excited, it's pretty ordinary, but the wind is dead calm and glassy. That rare combo might get you out for a peaceful paddle on a longboard if you're desperate. Everything else this week is pretty much a write-off until we get to Saturday the 25th.
Now, that Saturday morning (25th of July) is your first real standout. Waking up to a clean 6 ft SSE groundswell (12-second period) with glassy conditions and the wind swinging light offshore from the West. The energy of all swells here is moderate, clocking in at (936). This is the kind of session you dream about – clean lines, plenty of push, and the point should be reeling off nicely. It's going to be a cracker for pretty much anyone with a bit of experience.
We get a bit of a lull early next week, with some smaller, cleaner mornings on the 27th and 28th. The 28th (Tuesday) morning is worth a mention – just 3 ft of S swell but with absolutely zero wind and glassy conditions. It'll be small, but clean.
Then, the real heavy-hitter lines up for Thursday the 30th of July. Holy moly. The morning session is delivering a massive 10 ft SSW groundswell with a very long 12-second period. The combined energy is absolutely pumping at (3251). The wind is light offshore from the North, keeping things clean. This is *huge* – this swell is for experienced surfers only, and you’d want to be on your A-game. It'll be a beast at the point, but it's going to be an incredible sight and a serious challenge. The Friday morning (31st) and Saturday morning (1st of August) are looking at a still-sizable 8 ft SSE groundswell with glassy winds early on Friday and cleaner cross-off winds. Still big, still for the experienced crew only.
After that double-header, the swell starts to fade into the second week, giving us cleaner, smaller mornings again around the 3rd and 4th of August, with that nice offshore flow sticking around.
Stay safe out there, and don’t even think about that Thursday session unless you’ve got the skills to back it up. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
