The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's have a good look at what's coming up for Bonny Hills over the next couple of weeks.
The long-range picture is a bit of a mixed bag, with some real diamonds in the rough if you're patient. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year at 67°, so nothing unusual there.
The first real standout, and honestly the pick of the entire forecast window, is the Wednesday morning session on the 12th of August. We've got clean, glassy conditions with a light westerly breeze and a solid 4ft groundswell from the south with a period of 11 seconds. The combined swell energy hits 394 (moderate), so there's some good power behind it. This is the morning to be out there.
Heading into the second week, there's another promising window on the 22nd of August, Saturday morning. The wind is light offshore from the WNW, the swell is a clean 5ft from the east with a 10-second period, and the combined energy sits at 401 (moderate). The morning looks clean, and while it's further out, the signs are good. The afternoon stays clean too with a WSW cross-off, but the wind picks up a bit.
Now, between those two highlights, it gets rough. The week starting Monday the 17th of August through to Friday the 21st is mostly poor. There's a pulse of bigger swell on the 17th with 8ft from the SE, but it's onshore with rain, making for messy, blown-out conditions. That kind of size is only for the experts, and even then, it's not looking pretty. For a few days after that, the quality is marginal at best.
Towards the end of the run, the 26th of August Wednesday morning has some potential with a clean 4ft south swell and a cross-off breeze, but the energy is weaker (223) compared to the standouts.
For the average punter, hold out for that Wednesday the 12th morning session. It's the cleanest wave with the most potential.

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.

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.
