The Lowdown
Alright, let's look at what's cookin' for the next couple of weeks. Gotta be honest, it starts off quiet. There's a big ol' gap with no decent surf until Monday the 28th of September.
The only game in town is Honkeys. It's a reef, open to the south, and the swell direction from the south-southwest is a good match, but the wind is gonna be a real problem for most of the time. We're talking nearly constant cross-onshore wind, which is gonna make everything lumpy and chopped up. The water's sitting at about 86.4°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year.
The combined energy for the first week is moderate to strong, with swell heights building to over 6.5ft on the 19th, but with that onshore wind, it's a mess. There's a brief moment on the afternoon of the 18th of September where it looks marginal with a 3.9ft south-southwest swell, but the cross-onshore wind still wrecks it.
The only real window, and I mean the only one, is Monday the 28th and Tuesday the 29th of September. The wind finally looks like it swings to a cross-shore northwesterly, which should clean Honkeys up proper. Monday morning you've got a 3.9ft south-southwest swell with a 16-second period (some proper groundswell energy) and a gentle breeze. The combined energy is a moderate 798. It's not massive, but with light, clean wind, the waves should be tidy and much more fun. Early Tuesday the 29th is similar with a 3ft south-southwest swell and light winds. This is your prime window for a clean, cruisy session, even if the swell is on the smaller side. The spot can see crowds "sometimes", but for this, it shouldn't be too bad.
Later on, the swell tries to kick up again, but the wind looks to get messy. The standout is definitely that Monday-Tuesday stretch. It's not gonna be giant, but it's the cleanest we've got by a long shot.

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.
