The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, this is a bit of a tough stretch. The water temp is sitting at a warm 85°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won't be needing a thick wetsuit. But the surf? It’s a real struggle. The wind is almost always coming from the west or west-northwest, putting a nasty cross-onshore chop on everything. The swell energy is mostly moderate to strong (values between 246 and 1816), but it’s paired with that messy wind, so it’s just not coming together for a clean paddle-out.
The only real glimmer of hope is a couple of days around the 5th of August. On Wednesday morning the 5th, the wind is just a cross-shore breeze, and the swell is from the SSW at 3ft with a very long period of 19 seconds. That long period means there’s some serious energy in the water (combined energy of 980), but it might be a bit tricky at a reef break like Honkeys; it could be walling up a bit straight. The afternoon is still a bit chopped out, but the morning is the best call. The 16th of August, Sunday afternoon, also shows a change to a lighter cross-shore breeze with a 4ft S swell and a moderate energy level (402), which might give you a tiny window of cleaner, though still small, waves.
Everything else is a write-off. The wind is just too strong and onshore, making the surf poor. We’ve got a solid 16-day window here, but it’s mostly a waiting game. The break is fairly consistent for swell, but the conditions are working against us. It’s a tough one, but that’s how it goes sometimes.
Keep the faith, and check back in case the forecasts shift.

Information about the Honkeys Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Honkeys provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Honkeys can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Honkeys 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 (Honkeys) 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 Honkeys 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.
