The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch over to feet and miles per hour, but the story doesn’t get any prettier.
There’s nothing to get excited about at Honkeys over the next 16 days. The first surf windows are poor, and the pattern just stays ugly.
Saturday July 25th kicks it off with a 3ft SSW groundswell (12-second period) and moderate wave energy (410). The wind is cross-on from the WSW at 6 mph. Morning’s clear, afternoon brings storm risk. It’s a marginal, choppy day with wind bumps. Not worth the drive.
Sunday the 26th: swell pushes up to 5ft from the SE, period drops to 10 seconds, energy climbs to 700-818. Still cross-on wind at 9 mph from the West, and thunderstorms threaten. The surface stays choppy and messy.
By Monday the 27th, the swell settles back to around 4ft, but the cross-on wind hangs in at 9 mph. Scores drop to zero by the afternoon. From Tuesday the 28th through to the end of the forecast, the scores are all zeros and ones. The wind is either onshore or cross-on, often blowing 15-19 mph, and the ocean is lumpy, choppy, or just plain rough.
Late July and early August sees a bump in energy. On July 31st afternoon, the energy hits 1253, and on August 7th morning it reaches 1448. Swell heights run 4-6ft, periods 15-19 seconds (real groundswell), but the wind is fresh cross-onshore (15-19 mph) with stormy skies. That kind of power with that wind direction just means blown-out, lumpy conditions—better for kiting than surfing.
Honkeys is a reef break, beginner-friendly, fairly consistent, and set up for south swells. The swell direction is right, but the wind is wrong every single day. Water temp is about average for this time of year.
There are no good windows. The whole 16-day run is one long gap. If you’re really itching, Tuesday morning July 28th has a 4ft SE swell with a 10-second period and 561 energy, but the wind is onshore. It’s still marginal.
For this region, a blank run like this isn’t unusual. The forecast could flip, but right now, there’s nothing here.

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.
