The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Well, the swell window is looking a bit grumpy for a while. The first real chance to get wet comes in on Monday morning, September 7th, but it's a messy start. We've got a 5ft S swell rolling in at 10 seconds, but the wind is a cross-shore from the SSW at 6 mph. The water is sitting at 67°, which is bang on average for this time of year. The energy is moderate (487), but the wave comment says it's marginal, so don't expect anything too special.
The pattern doesn't improve much over the next few days. Tuesday and Wednesday are a mixed bag of cross-shore winds and building swell, but the quality just isn't there. The swell builds to 8ft on Tuesday, but that moderate cross-shore breeze (16 mph) will chop it up. By Wednesday morning, September 9th, we get a bit of a reprieve with glassy conditions and a 5ft SSE swell, which is a nice window of clean surf. The energy is moderate (417). That's a moment to be in the water, but it's short-lived.
Now, hold onto your board. The standout window is shaping up for the morning of Wednesday, September 16th. This is a real gem. We're looking at a solid 8ft SSE groundswell with a period of 11 seconds, pumping in a good amount of energy (1304). The wind will be glassy. This is the kind of session that gets the heart pumping. The wave comment calls it "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers," and that's no joke. At 8ft, this is for the crew who know what they're doing. The swell direction from the SSE is a good match for the optimum direction for Bonny Hills, which is SE. The water temp will still be around that 67° mark.
Before that, we have a few other moments that are worth a look. The morning of Saturday, September 12th, has an 8ft SSE swell with a cross-shore breeze, but the energy is high (1969) and it's going to be a bit of a handful. The wind will be a gentle cross-shore, so it's not all bad, but it's not as clean as that Wednesday.
After that big Wednesday, the swell drops back. The morning of Friday, September 18th, is glassy with a long-period 3ft SSE swell (12 seconds, 200 energy), but it's small. The offshore wind from the NW on Saturday, September 19th, is a nice touch, but the swell is a weak 4ft from the NNE, so it's just a fun-sized wave.
The long-range forecast into the second week is a bit of a gamble. We see a few small pulses, but nothing that screams "drop everything." The window around the 16th is the one to circle on the calendar. Until then, pick your moments.
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.
