Table - best surf conditions forecast for Bonny Hills over the next 16 days.
Alright, let me tell you how this next couple of weeks is stacking up.
To be honest, the first week or so is a bit of a struggle. The energy is low and the winds are messy. We’ve got a run of poor conditions from Monday the 13th right through to the start of the following week. There’s some swell around, but it’s mostly short period and blown out by cross or cross-onshore winds. It’s not looking good for a paddle. The setup is more interesting for a kite at times than a surfboard.
The best bet on offer is the morning of Tuesday the 21st. We’ve got clean, glassy conditions at Bonny Hills, with a 4ft swell out of the east, period of 9 seconds. The water temp is 67°, which is pretty much bang on average for the time of year. The energy is moderate at 302, and with glassy conditions and that east swell wrapping in, it’ll be the cleanest window we’ve seen in a while. It’s a consistent point break that’s exposed to the swell, but watch for crowds as it can get busy.
After that, things drop off again until late in the period. The morning of Monday the 27th is another solid standout. Early call, but it’s promising. Bonny Hills will see a clean 5ft south swell, period of 8 seconds, with a light offshore wind from the WSW. The energy jumps right up to 499, which is solid. That’s a proper paddle. The wind stays clean through the morning, and the swell is big enough to get a few good ones without being too heavy for the average surfer.
Through the last few days of the month it begins to fade again but the Tuesday morning the 28th still has a workable 5ft south swell with clean cross-off winds.
Alright, that’s the story. Keep an eye on that Tuesday the 21st and the Monday the 27th – those are your windows.

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.
