Alright, mate, Honkeys is basically flat and ugly for a solid stretch. From the 3rd of July, Friday, right through to the 12th of July, Sunday, it’s no good. Wind’s blowing out of the west at 15 to 30 km/h, cross-onshore, and the waves are tiny, 2 to 3 ft, mixed south-south-west to south-south-east, messy and choppy. Water temp is about 84°, average for the time of year. There’s no surf worth mentioning, just a windy mess. That cross-onshore breeze and the exposed setup? Better for kite surfing than paddling.
Then from Monday the 13th of July, things get interesting. The wind drops way down, light breezes, and from Tuesday afternoon the 14th we get some real push. Waves hit 3 ft on Tuesday afternoon, but the real fun starts Wednesday the 15th. We’ve got clean offshore wind from the south-west at 6 mph on the Wednesday morning and again on Thursday morning the 16th, with swell running 4 ft and a long period of 15 seconds or more. That’s proper groundswell. The energy jumps way up, into the strong range. On Wednesday afternoon, we’re looking at 5 ft, 17-second period, with a light, nearly glassy cross-onshore breeze. That’s the pick of the forecast. It’s going to be clean, lined-up, and the reef will handle that long-period swell beautifully. It’s a bit big for beginners, but for anyone else, that’s the session to aim for.
Crowds can show up at Honkeys sometimes, but after so many poor days, you might have it quiet. The only real standout is Wednesday the 15th and into Thursday morning the 16th. After that, the swell holds but the wind starts turning onshore again by the weekend. For a long-range call, that Wednesday is promising but not locked in.

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.
