The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what Honkeys is doing for the next couple of weeks. Gotta be honest, it’s a slow burn, with a lot of waiting for the good stuff.

Right now and for the next few days, it’s pretty grim. We got a weak, small SSE swell sloshing in, but that cross-on wind from the WSW is just ripping it apart. On the 15th and 16th, you’re looking at about 4ft of choppy, gutless slop. Combined energy is a measly 346. Don’t bother gettin’ your suit wet.

Things turn a corner on Monday the 17th. The swell period jumps way up, like 21 to 22 seconds, and the direction goes more south. The combined energy hits 819 and then a strong 1754. The wave height is only about 3ft to 4ft, but that long period gives it some real power underneath. Problem is, the wind is still cross-on, so it’s messy. It’s a marginal call, a 1 out of 10 kind of day. You might snag a lump, but it’ll be a battle.

Now, here’s the window you want. Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th are our standouts. A solid SSW swell fills in, holding 5ft to 7ft with a period of 16 to 18 seconds. The combined energy is massive, peaking at 2519, so there’s a lot of water moving. The water temp is 84°, which is average for this time of year. The wind is a light 10 to 15 km/h from the west, just a light cross-onshore. That’ll keep the faces relatively clean and fun to carve. These are the best days we’ve got. The swell is a bit much for beginners at over 5ft, but for intermediate and above, it’ll be a proper session with some grunt.

That pulse fades fast. From the 20th through the 26th, we hit a long, flat spell. Small, short-period windswell from the SSE with weak energy (dipping to 166) and persistent cross-on or onshore wind. It’s choppy and gutless. Don’t bother.

There’s a glimmer way out on the 29th and 30th. Long-range models hint at another big pulse of SSW groundswell, pushing 7ft with a 17 to 18 second period. The combined energy is up around 2800 – serious power. The morning of the 30th is looking like it could be nearly glassy with a light 10 km/h breeze. If it holds, that’ll be the cleanest day of the whole run. But it’s a long way off, so keep it in the back of your mind. Definitely an expert-only zone at that size.

So, to break the wave down: the 18th and 19th are your best bet, with a possible bonus on the 30th. Everything else is a waiting game.

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.
