Honky's

Surf Guide

We don't need to tell you what this surf spot is named after, do we? What we can tell you is this: look up "refraction" in the swell dictionary and you'll see Honky's. The takeoff zone is actually part of the same reef as Sultans, just 100 yards south, and swells bend in towards the island pretty much from takeoff all the way through. It actually grows in size at it wraps, with the inside section -- "Fred's Ledge" -- often two feet bigger than the takeoff. By the time you kick out, the wave has wrapped almost 90 degrees. The currents running next to this left are some of the gnarliest out here, so be sure to line up well with some point of land.
