The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Honkeys over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the first week and a half is a write-off. The wind is almost always cross-onshore or worse, chopping up what little swell there is. Swell energy is weak, usually below 500 (combined energy of all swells directed here), and the wave heights are small. You’ll see a few days with a marginal call, but honestly, nothing worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at 85°F with an anomaly of just 1°F, so it’s about average for the time of year – warm, but that’s the only positive.
It’s not until Monday, July 27th morning that things start to look interesting. That’s when we see a proper pulse of groundswell from the SW, with a very long period of 18 seconds and a combined energy of 1219 (moderate to strong energy). The swell height is around 3ft, so it’s not huge, but that long period means it’ll have plenty of power and shape. The wind is listed as “on,” which is offshore for Honkeys (NE is the optimum offshore direction, so WSW wind is offshore). That’s a big deal. It’ll be glassy and clean.
Monday, July 27th morning at Honkeys (reef) is the standout. The reef will handle that long-period SW groundswell beautifully, with waves in the 3ft range, clean from the offshore wind, and the energy is solid. Crowds are possible here – it’s a beginner-friendly spot that’s fairly consistent, so expect a few others who’ve been waiting for this window.
Tuesday, July 28th still looks clean with offshore winds in the morning, but the swell energy drops off a bit. Still worth a look if you missed Monday. After that, the wind turns cross-onshore again and the quality fades.
So, bottom line: the first 12 days are a bust. The real action is on Monday, July 27th morning. Keep an eye on that window.
Rusty.

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.
