The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Bonny Hills over the next couple of weeks. It’s been a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s a definite window of quality to get excited about if you’re patient.
The first few days are nothing to write home about. Friday the 7th is a write-off with a weak 2ft SSE swell and cross-on wind chopping it up. Saturday the 8th morning offers a tiny 2ft clean wave, but it’s super ordinary. Sunday the 9th gets a bit more size but the wind is all over the place, turning it messy.
Now, the real standout is Monday the 10th. That’s your session. The building swell tops out at 7ft from the NE on Monday morning, with a clean offshore wind from the W. The wave energy is strong (536), and the conditions are set to be very good. It’s a solid, powerful wave for the experienced crew – that 7ft is pushing into expert territory. The wind stays offshore in the afternoon, so there’s a full day of quality. Don’t sleep on this one.
After that, things settle back down. Tuesday the 11th morning is clean but tiny at 2ft. Wednesday the 12th has some clean but small waves in the afternoon with a moderate offshore. The second week is a bit of a struggle. Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th see a spike in size from the S, but the wind is cross or cross-off, making it poor. The wave energy is high (854 on Thursday afternoon), but the quality isn’t there.
The rest of the forecast is a long stretch of poor to marginal conditions with small, choppy waves. There’s a glimmer of hope right at the end on Friday the 21st of August – the morning shows a glassy 3ft SSE swell with a period of 11 seconds, which is a nice longer period, and the water temp is about average for the time of year at 66°. Conditions are expected to be good, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
Overall, you’ve got a long wait for the real quality, but Monday the 10th is the one to circle on the calendar. The rest is mostly for the die-hards or those just wanting to get wet.
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.
