The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks for Bonny Hills. It’s a classic point break, consistent, exposed to the swell, and it likes a SE direction. Water temp is sitting around 66°, which is pretty much spot on average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

The first few days are a bit of a mixed bag, but we’ve got some real standouts if you’re patient. Saturday the 1st of August is a write-off – small, messy, cross-onshore junk. Not worth paddling out. Sunday the 2nd is where it gets interesting. Early morning we’ve got a glassy, clean setup with a 6ft SE swell, and the period is a long 13 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is pumping at 1055 (moderate to strong), and with the wind dead calm, it’s going to be clean as a whistle. This is the pick of the first week for sure. A word of caution though: with that long period, the point will handle it beautifully, but if you’re on a beach break nearby, it might be a bit too straight. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get in early.

The swell drops off Monday and Tuesday, with small, weak energy and poor conditions. Wednesday and Thursday mornings show some clean windows with cross-off or glassy winds, but the swell is only 3ft to 4ft – fun but nothing special. Friday the 7th has another glassy morning with a 5ft S swell, period at 9 seconds, and a combined energy of 426 (moderate). It’s surfable, but the afternoon goes to crap with onshore junk.

Then we hit a long dry spell. From Saturday the 8th through to Tuesday the 12th, it’s mostly small, weak, or poorly directed. The wind is often cross-off, but the swell is tiny or short-period, and combined energy barely cracks 200. Not worth your time.

Now, here’s the big one. Thursday the 13th of August – early morning – we’ve got a 10ft S swell, period 9 seconds, and the combined energy is a massive 2253 (very strong). That’s serious power. The wind is cross-off, which will keep it reasonably clean, but let’s be real – 10ft at a point break is expert territory. Beginners, stay on the sand. This is for experienced surfers only. The afternoon drops to 7ft, still strong, but the wind goes cross and conditions get lumpy.

The following weekend throws up a real oddity. Saturday the 15th of August, early morning, we’ve got a tiny 3ft swell, but the period is a staggering 21 seconds – that’s ultra-long period groundswell, and combined energy is 1031 (moderate). Glassy conditions. This will be a weird one: long, slow, powerful lines, but the point break will make the most of it. Not for beginners, but a real treat for the experienced crew. Sunday the 16th has a 7ft SSE swell, period 8 seconds, with glassy conditions again and combined energy at 1217 (strong). That’s another solid morning, but again, over 5ft so it’s for the more skilled.

Overall, the standout is Sunday the 2nd of August – clean, glassy, proper groundswell. The second standout is Thursday the 13th of August, but that’s for experts only. If you’re looking for a clean, smaller session, Saturday the 15th is a wildcard with that 21-second period. Stay keen, stay patient.

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.
