The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what we’ve got.
It’s gonna be a tough stretch for any of us who want to get wet around Honeymoon Island. The outlook for the next 16 days is basically a flat spell with a sprinkle of tiny, messy waves that aren't worth paddling for. The first few days, from Wednesday the 29th of July straight through to Monday the 10th of August, are a write-off with just weak, small, and wind-affected slop. We’re talking combined swell energy sitting mostly in the low double digits (26 to 60), meaning there's barely any grunt in the water. Winds are strong and mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and that swell period is super short at 4 to 6 seconds, so it’s mostly just wind chop. Honeymoon Island only ever rarely breaks, and this period is living up to that.
From Tuesday the 11th of August onward, there’s a small ripple of energy trying to show up, but it's pathetic – swells around 0.3 ft to 2 ft, and the energy figures are a joke (1 to 6). The water temp is pretty average for this time of year, nothing to write home about. Honestly, there isn’t a single standout day or break in this entire window. The best you can say is that on Wednesday the 5th of August morning, we get a bit of clean, glassy conditions but with zero swell, and Thursday the 6th of August morning is glassy too, but again, flat. It’s a long dry stretch. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is a normal, disappointing run. If you’re absolutely jonesing for a paddle, you’re better off waiting for the next forecast update, because this one has nothing that would get a surfer out of bed.

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.
