The wave has two sections which usually link up, the outside and... the inside. The beach (and the entire atoll) are private (govt?) property. When the swell gets up and its of a certain direction there is a lot of current running off the point.
Overview
Atmosphere
A really quality wave, suffering from the beginnings of being crowded - due to the ease of access from Male and various resorts.
General
This wave is the left of the same reef as Sultans (right)

Honkies is a bit faster than many breaks in the Maldives and fairly hollow on low tide. Fairly forgiving at higher tide. It walls up really well. A top spot.

Paradise for real
Had Honkeys going off for 3 days in a row. Myself and +- 4 others out. Warm water, glassy, 4-6ft solid dark lines wrapping round a small tropical island. Had one of the longest, most perfect waves of my life. Made all the travelling worthwhile. What a rush.
