The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next two weeks at Honeymoon Island are a right-off if you're looking for proper surf. We’ve got a long blank stretch ahead.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, there is just nothing on the cards. The first entry kicks off Sunday afternoon the 19th of July, but straight away it's a mess: a weak 4ft southerly swell with a short, choppy 5-second period, and a fresh 19 mph cross-off wind from the SSE. The combined energy is a low 74 – weak. To make matters worse, the water temp is sitting at 89°, which is 4° warmer than normal for this time of year – that's a notable anomaly, so expect it to feel like a bath.
Monday the 20th offers a touch more size at 5ft from the SSW, but the period is still a poor 6 seconds and the wind swings to a nasty cross-shore at 22 mph, leaving the surface lumpy. That energy bumps up just a little into three digits (114-119), but it’s all poor quality. Tuesday the 21st drops back to 4ft, and the wind stays cross or cross-on with a fresh breeze – still no good.
From Wednesday the 22nd onward, things just dwindle. Swell heights keep falling – 3ft, then 2ft, then down to 1.0ft by the 26th. Periods are pitiful (4 to 7 seconds), and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, with a moderate to fresh breeze. The energy numbers sink into single or low double digits. There’s a tiny pulse around the 30th and 31st of July, bringing 3ft waves from the west, but again, the period is short (5-6 seconds) and the wind is cross-on with a fresh breeze, making for lumpy, choppy conditions.
By the start of August, the 1st sees a slight bump to 5ft from the WSW, but again – poor period (5 seconds), fresh cross-on wind, and only a score of 117 in energy. The same story holds for the 2nd, and by the 3rd of August we’re back to tiny, weak 2ft slop. This break is a sandbar setup that rarely breaks, and for this run, it just isn’t happening. There are zero standout days. A blank run like this is not unusual for the area given the conditions. If you’ve got a kite, the cross-onshore winds might offer a bit of interest, but for a paddle surfer, it’s time to find another hobby for a while.
Rusty.

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.
