Bonny Hills Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Bonny Hills.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. For the next few days, the surf is pretty average to poor. The water temp is sitting at 67°, which is about normal for this time of year – nothing unusual there.

Wednesday afternoon the 9th starts with a weak 5ft swell out of the SSE with a short 8-second period and a cross-on wind. The combined energy is only 323 – really weak. It’s choppy and messy. Not worth paddling out.

Thursday the 10th brings a bigger jump in size but conditions are junk. Morning sees a 10ft SSE swell with a 10-second period, but it’s cross-shore and choppy. Afternoon drops to 8ft with the same issues. The energy is moderate to strong (1776 and 1252) but the wind and chop ruin it.

Friday the 11th morning is the first real standout. We get a clean 6ft swell from the SSE with a 10-second period, and the wind is a light cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is 836 – moderate and punchy. This is your best bet early on. The point should be offering nice, clean lines. Just a heads up, crowds are possible here sometimes.

Saturday the 12th morning goes glassy with a small 4ft SSE swell (9-second period) and only 439 energy – weak but pretty. Fun for a longboard or a groveler. Afternoon gets messy with a long-period 2ft swell (19 seconds!) but cross-on wind – that long period will make it hard to connect at a beach setup, but on a point, it might offer some weirdly shaped waves.

From Sunday the 13th through to Tuesday the 15th, the surf drops away. Small, weak swells under 3ft, poor winds, and choppy conditions. Not much to get excited about.

Wednesday the 16th morning sees a 6ft SSE swell (9-second period) with onshore wind and 585 energy. It’s marginal, but the onshore wind will mess it up. Afternoon drops to 5ft with similar issues.

Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th are poor again – small, weak, and mostly messy. Friday morning is glassy but tiny (2ft from the south). Nothing doing.

Now, Saturday the 19th morning is a big one, but with a major caveat. The swell jumps to 12ft from the SSE with an 11-second period and the combined energy hits 2451 – strong to very strong. However, the wind is cross-on, and the swell is too big for this break. Only for the most experienced, and even then, it’s sketchy. The afternoon holds at 10ft (3468 energy) but same cross-on wind. Not the cleanest option.

Sunday the 20th morning drops to a still-chunky 7ft SSE swell (10-second period, 873 energy) with a light cross wind – more manageable for experienced surfers, but still big. Afternoon eases to 6ft with stronger cross wind.

From Monday the 21st onward, it’s back to small, weak, and poor conditions with cross and cross-on winds. Waves under 5ft, low energy, and not much quality. The last decent-looking window is Wednesday the 23rd morning with a 5ft ESE swell (10 seconds, 398 energy), but it’s cross-shore and just marginal.

Bottom line: The clear standout is Friday the 11th morning – clean, moderate 6ft SSE swell with light cross-offshore wind. That’s the session to aim for. Saturday the 19th is big and powerful but only for the experts, and even then, the wind isn’t ideal. The rest of the 16-day window is mostly small, weak, or choppy.
