The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, this is Rusty. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks. It’s a story of two halves: a whole lot of nothing, then a good day.
For the first two weeks, from Tuesday the 4th of August, it’s a total write-off. The wind is howling from the west and west-southwest, blowing cross-on and making a mess of things. The waves are there, from 2 ft to 5 ft, and the energy is moderate (around 500-700), but it’s all chop. The water temp is a warm 85°, which is about normal for this time of year.
Our main spot, Honkeys (a reef break), is exposed to the south, and the swell is coming from the south-southeast. The optimum swell direction is from the south, so the angle is fine, but the wind is just killing it. The swell period is long, over 15 seconds at times, which is a proper groundswell, but it’s no good with this wind.
The only real standout comes on Wednesday the 19th of August. The morning will be glassy, with a light wind out of the west-northwest. The swell will be 4 ft from the south with a period of 16 seconds, giving it good energy (1138). This is your window. The waves will be clean and powerful. Honkeys will be working, and it’s one for the experienced surfers. The crowds are a possibility, but you might get a good session.
Before that, on the 18th, there’s a hint of something with a little more energy (over 1000) and light onshore winds, but the 19th is the one to wait for.
So, the first two weeks are a bust. Don’t waste your time. But the 19th of August? That’s the day you want.
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.
