The Lowdown

Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks. Bonny Hills is our main focus here, and honestly, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. This is a solid, consistent point break that is beginner-friendly, but the upcoming window is a test of patience.

Right off the bat, we’ve got nothing happening for the first few days. Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th are basically write-offs with small, poor surf and cross-shore winds. You’d be wasting your time. Wednesday the 16th starts to show some size but with a lot of wind and chop, making it messy.

Then things get a bit more interesting late in the week. The real standout is Thursday the 17th morning. The swell jumps up to a solid 10ft from the SSE, with a period of 11 seconds, pushing a strong wave energy of 2278. It’s clean with a cross-offshore wind from the SW at 15 mph. That’s a lot of water moving, and it’s going to be a challenge – over 8ft is expert territory – but for the experienced crew, this is the best session on offer. The water temp is around average for this time of year, no big anomaly.

Friday the 18th morning is your next good chance. The swell drops to a more manageable 6ft from the SSE, but the real magic is the glassy conditions. 3 mph of SSE breeze and a glassy surface. That’s a beautiful morning surf, clean and inviting, with moderate energy (450). It’s a proper window for everyone.

Saturday the 19th morning also looks promising with 4ft SSE swell and glassy conditions again, but the energy is still decent at 443. The crowds at Bonny Hills can get *sometimes* busy, so you might have some company on those standouts.

After that, it falls away again. Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st are back to messy or poor conditions. The 21st afternoon brings a big 12ft swell from the S, but it’s onshore and choppy – that’s a kite-surfing day, not a paddle day.

The second week is quieter and less certain. Tuesday the 22nd morning has a 7ft SSE swell with a cross breeze, but it’s not clean. The rest of the week is mostly small, poor, or windy. Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th are nothing special. The very end of the period, around Sunday the 27th and Monday the 28th, offers small, marginal waves only.

Overall, your best two bets are the big, expert-heavy Thursday the 17th morning and the glassy, all-rounder Friday the 18th morning. If you’re not an expert, go for Friday. The rest of the time, you’re waiting.

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.
