The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this sorted. The overall pattern for Bonny Hills (region: Bonny Hills) is a bit of a slow burn, but there’s a real standout day that’s going to light up the point for those who wait. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
We kick off Friday the 31st of July with a 6ft south swell, but the wind is cross from the south at 9 mph, and it’s looking a bit marginal. Not the day to get excited. Saturday the 1st of August sees a clean morning with a 6ft SSE swell and light cross-offshore wind, but it’s not a standout – just a decent session.
Now, Sunday the 2nd of August is the real gem. The morning is glassy – zero wind, calm as a lake – with a 6ft SE swell and a long period of 14 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is sitting at 1071 (moderate to strong). This is a point break, so that long period will shape up nicely, offering clean, lined-up waves. It’s a bit punchy at 6ft, but still manageable for experienced surfers. The water is glassy, the point will be offering some nice rides. This is the best on offer.
After that, Monday the 3rd of August has a clean morning with 4ft SE swell, but it’s smaller. Wednesday the 5th of August is not great, with a short-period 3ft SSW swell and onshore winds later. The rest of the first week fades into smaller, wind-affected conditions. The morning of Thursday the 6th of August has a glassy 5ft south swell, but it’s nothing special.
The second week is quieter. Sunday the 9th of August has a 3ft SSE swell but it’s blown out by a 15 mph crosswind. The morning of Monday the 10th of August has a 2ft east swell with offshore wind, but it’s tiny. The best of the second week is probably the morning of Wednesday the 12th of August, with a 4ft S swell and clean cross-offshore wind, but it’s still just a modest session. The 14th of August has a glassy 4ft S swell in the morning, but again, it’s not a standout.
So, the clear standout is Sunday morning the 2nd of August. Get out there early for the glassy, long-period SE groundswell. It’s the best you’ll see in this 16-day window.

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.
