Righto, surfers, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's shaping up for Bonny Hills over the next couple of weeks.
It’s gonna be a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. The first few days are pretty ordinary, but there’s some real magic brewing for the second week if you’re patient. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
We’re looking at Saturday the 4th for the first taste of something decent. Bonny Hills (a consistent point break that’s good for beginners) will see a 5ft SSW swell, with a light cross-off breeze making for clean waves. The swell energy is moderate (371), so it’s a solid start to the weekend. Sunday looks a bit messy with the onshore kick, so don’t get too excited.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting for the experienced crew. Tuesday the 7th sees the swell jump to 10ft of SSE groundswell, with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is very strong (3477), but the wind stays clean – cross-off in the morning. That’s big, powerful surf. Wednesday the 8th is another standout for the experts, with 8ft SSE swell again, and the wind holding clean, glassy in the morning. That’s proper, heavy point surf with heaps of energy (3304). The swell direction from the SSE is a good match for the break’s optimum SE direction, so it’ll be wrapping in nicely. Keep in mind, this is a point break, so that long-period groundswell will set up some beautiful lines, but you’ll want to be on your game.
There’s a bit of a lull after that, with some smaller, cleaner days around the 11th and 14th July. The 14th offers a punchy 6ft SSW swell in glassy conditions – perfect for a dawny when the crowds (which are sometimes here) haven’t shown up.
The real eye-opener is Friday the 17th of July. The forecast is showing a massive 13ft SSW swell with a long 11-second period and very strong energy (5928). The wind is light and cross-off, making it clean. That is a solid, raw groundswell. It is only for experts – full stop. That’s the best on offer for the whole run. Saturday the 18th still has a big 10ft SE swell on offer, also clean, so if you miss Friday, that’s your backup.
So, for the punters just looking for a fun wave, aim for the 4th, 9th, or the 14th. If you’ve got the skills and the nerve, lock in the 7th, 8th, and especially the 17th. That last one is a monster.
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.
