The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. Honeymoon Island is looking like a total non-event over this 16-day stretch. There’s a big dry spell to start, and honestly, the whole thing is a dud.
From Thursday the 23rd through the end of the month, the swell is tiny and weak, with wave energy readings barely cracking triple digits (the highest we see is 156 on the morning of the 31st). Not enough to push a proper wave, and the wind is mostly straight onshore from the west. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Our only break is Honeymoon Island, a sandbar that *rarely breaks* – and this forecast shows you why. On Thursday the 23rd, we’ve got a tiny 0.8ft (0.7m) swell from the WSW with a short 8-second period, and onshore wind. Total washout. Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th are even smaller, dropping to 1ft (0.3m). The wind goes light and cross-off Saturday morning, but with 1ft of swell, there’s nothing to ride.
We get a small pulse around the 29th to the 31st, with wave heights bumping to about 4ft (1.2m) from the west. That’s our biggest swell, but the period is a weak 5-6 seconds, and it’s all onshore. The combined energy hits 92 on the morning of the 30th – still weak – then 156 on the 31st. That’s the only time we see moderate energy, but it’s wind-sloppy. The swell direction is west, but this spot wants southwest, so it’s not even the right angle.
By August, it’s all over. Swell drops to 1ft (0.4m) and then to flat by the 4th and 5th. The last few days are dead calm with zero energy. Onshore wind and chop are the only constants.
So what’s the highlight? There isn’t one. The best you could hope for is a poor, knee-high bump on the morning of the 31st, but with it being inconsistent and rarely breaking, you’re wasting your time. This is a normal dead run for this place. Leave the stick at home.

Information about the Honeymoon Island Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Honeymoon Island provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Honeymoon Island can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Honeymoon Island 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 (Honeymoon Island) 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 Honeymoon Island 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.
