The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's coming up for Bonny Hills. It's a consistent point break, good for beginners, exposed to the south-east. The water temp is sitting at about 67°, right on the money for this time of year.
Alright, we've got a bit of a wait on our hands. The first decent call is Wednesday morning, September 9th. The swell is a clean 5ft from the SSE, with a period of 9 seconds and a combined energy of 417 (moderate). The wind is glassy, which is a massive tick – clean conditions are on the cards. It's a good start, but nothing to lose your head over.
Thursday morning, September 10th, things get interesting. We've got a solid 10ft SSE swell, period of 10 seconds and a combined energy of 1722 (strong). The wind is cross-off from the SW, cleaning it up nicely. This is a standout for the more experienced crew; it's going to be a big, powerful day at Bonny Hills. The energy is really there.
Friday morning, September 11th, the swell holds at 8ft from the S, with a longer period of 11 seconds and a combined energy of 2994 (very strong). The wind is a light cross-shore from the SSW, so it's not a write-off. That long period means better shaped waves, but it can make a beach break a bit straight – at a point like Bonny Hills, it should be a treat. Another one for the advanced surfers, but the size and energy are worth the paddle out.
Saturday morning, September 12th, we see a drop to 5ft from the S, with a period of 9 seconds and combined energy of 659 (moderate). The wind is cross-off from the SW again, giving us clean conditions. This is a really solid option, especially for the intermediate crowd. The forecast says "expect very good surf conditions," and I'm with it.
After that, there's a bit of a lull through the middle of the month. The swell drops off and the wind gets messy. It's not until Saturday, September 19th, that we get another real highlight. The afternoon session looks excellent with a 4ft S swell, a long period of 14 seconds, combined energy of 528 (moderate), and offshore wind from the NW. The forecast says "expect very good surf conditions." That is a glassy, clean, long-period groundswell, perfect for a point break. This is the one to circle on the calendar.
So, to sum it up: the best windows are Thursday morning and Friday morning, September 10th and 11th for the big stuff (experts only), and then Saturday morning, September 12th, and the standout Saturday afternoon, September 19th, for cleaner, more manageable waves. Get amongst it.
Rusty.

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.
