Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the line for Honkeys.
Honestly, it's a pretty frustrating outlook for the next couple of weeks. We’re looking at a real dry spell to kick things off. From now right through till the 23rd of July, the surf is going to be a write-off. The wind is just a constant problem, mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the wave quality is rated poor. It’s one of those stretches where you're better off leaving the boards in the shed. The swell energy is there now and again, like on Monday the 13th with a moderate 528 (energy), but it's completely wasted with that 12 mph cross-breeze turning it into a washing machine.
The only real glimmer of hope in the entire 16-day window is the 24th of July. Things finally line up. The wind drops away to nothing, turning glassy. You’ll be looking at clean 3 ft surf from the SE, with a period of 10 seconds. That's a proper groundswell, and the combined energy is a light 284, but the conditions will make it feel so much better. For a spot like Honkeys, which is an exposed reef, having that glassy, clean surface is everything. This is the standout, the one day you want to circle on the calendar. The water is a warm 85°, which is about average for the time of year, so no wetsuit needed.
The following Saturday morning, the 25th, also shows a bit of promise with some clean conditions and a 2 ft SSW swell, but it's a bit of a gamble compared to the glassy day before.
So, to sum it up: a whole lot of nothing until the 24th of July. That Friday is your best bet for a proper session. Keep your fingers crossed the forecast holds.
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.
