The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, signing on for the local outlook. Let’s get into it.
Bonny Hills is our only spot on the radar for the next 16 days. The first week really is a bit of a write-off, with a lot of mushy, weak stuff or blown-out conditions. The water temp is sitting at 67°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The action doesn't really kick off until Friday, the 4th of September. That morning you’ll find a glassy 4 ft southerly swell, but it’s a short-period affair at 6 seconds, so it'll be a bit fat and inconsistent. The energy is moderate (229), and it’s rideable, but it’s not the standout.
The real story, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Thursday, the 10th of September. The morning session is where it’s at. We’ve got a solid 8 ft SSW groundswell with a long 11-second period, and the wind is a clean offshore from the WNW. The energy is through the roof (3110), and it’s set to be excellent for the experienced crew. This is the pick of the entire forecast. It’s a point break, so that long period will wrap in nicely. Just be aware that at 8 ft, this is for experts only. The afternoon does get messy with a cross-onshore wind and a bigger 10 ft swell, so get on it early.
Friday the 11th holds a similar 8 ft SSE swell, again with a clean offshore wind in the morning, but it’s a little more cross-off than straight offshore. Still a top-notch session for the experienced surfer, with strong energy (1642). The Saturday the 12th is also big, but the wind is a stronger cross-off, bordering on fresh, which makes it less clean than the Thursday and Friday mornings.
After that, the swell backs off and the wind gets messy again. There’s a brief window on Tuesday the 15th morning with a clean 4 ft swell, but it’s only just okay.
To sum it up: the first week is a slog, but the period from Thursday the 10th to Saturday the 12th of September fires up properly. The absolute standout is the Thursday morning the 10th. Clear your schedule.

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.
