The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's talk Bonny Hills.
The 16-day window starts a little slow, but we've got some solid pulses coming through. The real action is in the mornings.
The first proper session is Monday morning, September 7th. Swell is 6ft out of the south, with a 10-second period and combined energy of 718 (moderate wave energy). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the southwest, so the waves are gonna be clean. This is a beauty. Water temp is 67°, which is about average for the year.
Next up, Wednesday morning, September 9th. Swell drops to 6ft from the SSE, still a 10-second period, and the energy is 597 (moderate wave energy). The wind is light offshore from the north, giving you glassy conditions. Another morning to get out there.
Also, look ahead to Tuesday morning, September 15th. Swell is 6ft from the SSE, with a 10-second period and strong energy at 700 (moderate wave energy). The wind is dead calm – glassy. That's a promising one, but it's a ways out.
The afternoons get messy with cross-on winds and chop. Tuesday the 8th sees a big 10ft swell from the SSE, which is expert territory. Crowds can be a problem at Bonny Hills, so get in early.
Your best bets are Monday the 7th and Wednesday the 9th. The Tuesday the 15th is a long-range hopeful.
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.
