The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it.
We've got Honkeys on the radar. This is a reef break, fairly consistent, and it loves an S swell. The water's sitting at 85°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so you won't need any extra rubber.
The problem is, the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We're looking at a solid gap with no real quality surf on offer until early September. The swell is there, but it's fighting a nasty cross-onshore wind that's just chopping everything up. That first real window of opportunity opens up on the morning of Tuesday, the 2nd of September. The swell drops to a cleaner 4 ft from the SSW, but the wind is still a cross-shore, leaving the wave face a little bumpy. The combined energy is moderate (1219), but it's still marginal.
The real standout, and the one to circle on the calendar, is the morning of Thursday, the 4th of September. The wind swings to a light offshore from the WSW, and the swell is a clean 4 ft from the SSE. It's not the biggest swell, but with that offshore wind, the waves will be glassy and lined up. The period is a short 10 seconds, so it won't be a power-packed groundswell, but it'll be clean and fun. The combined energy is lower (629), but for a reef break, this is the best chance of the window for a proper session. Keep in mind this spot can get crowded sometimes, so get in early.
After that, the outlook gets messy again. The wind swings back into the cross-onshore quadrant for the rest of the run, and the swell is inconsistent. The long-period SSW swells that show up around the 7th and 8th of September are a tease – they'll have plenty of energy for a point break, but at this exposed reef, the period (18 seconds) might make it a bit too straight and walled-up for a truly fun paddle. The wind will be a factor again, so it's a high-risk gamble.
Bottom line: if you can wait for that Thursday morning window, you'll be rewarded. The rest of the 16-day outlook is a washout with poor to marginal conditions.
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.
