The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s see what’s in store for the next couple of weeks.
First off, the water temp is runnin’ about 85°, which is right where it should be for this time of year – nothin’ weird there.
Gotta be honest, the start of this forecast is a bit of a bummer. Wednesday the 2nd through Friday the 4th are pretty rough. We got a solid 6ft SSW swell pushin’ in on Wednesday, but the wind is cross-onshore and messy. The combined energy is strong (1166, 1290), but it’s all chopped up. Not worth paddlin’ out. Thursday and Friday drop to about 4ft from the SSE, but we still got cross-onshore breezes and the conditions are marginal or poor. It’s just not happening.
Then we get to our one true highlight. Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th at Honkeys. This is the call. The swell drops a little to 4ft – 5ft from the SSE, but the wind goes glassy. Flat calm, offshore enough to be clean. The combined energy is moderate (305 to 421), and the water is smooth. For a beginner-friendly reef like Honkeys, that 5ft with glassy conditions is a nice little fun-size wave. It’s fairly consistent, and you might see a few others out, but with this clean window, it’ll be worth it.
After that, it’s a long, dry spell. From Monday the 7th all the way to Wednesday the 16th, it’s mostly poor. The wind stays cross-on, mostly from the west at 9 to 15 mph, choppin’ everything up. There’s a little spike on Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th with some 5ft – 5ft SSW swell and strong energy (1306 to 2428), but that cross-on wind ruins it. This is more of a kite surfer’s playground than a paddler’s dream. The long period swell (16–17 seconds) on those days is a tease – it’s got the power, but not the wind.
The last few days, from the 13th to the 17th, stay small and messy. A few 2ft to 3ft bumps, but the wind is relentless. Honestly, forget the second week. It’s a washout for clean waves.
So, if you’re keen, make the call for Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th. That’s your window. The rest of the run is a blank.
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.
