Alright, this is Rusty.
Well, I gotta be straight with you. We’re looking at a pretty dead stretch here. The water is a bath-like 89°, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like you’re paddling in a hot spring. But that’s about the only noteworthy thing happening. For this whole 16-day window right through to Monday the 27th of July, there’s not a single session worth paddling out for. It’s a long, blank run.
The only potential spot is Honeymoon Island, a sandbar that rarely breaks. And looking at the numbers, it’s just not delivering. The waves are tiny, mostly under 2ft, with weak periods and poor wind almost the whole time. The winds are mostly cross-onshore or onshore, kicking up chop. The combined swell energy is low – we’re talking single-digit values (7, 12, 4) and barely cracking 38 as a high point, which is still weak and messy. There’s no power, no shape, and no clean windows.
On Wednesday the 22nd, we get a brief moment of glassy conditions in the morning, with light SSE wind, but the wave is only 1ft. It’s clean, but you’d be bobbing around on flat water. For the rest of the run, it’s all onshore slop or close-out conditions. Honestly, for the beach and sandbar setup here, this is looking more like a kitesurfer’s playground than a surf spot.
Bottom line: don’t even bother getting the wax out. It’s one of those blank runs that’s pretty normal for this area when conditions line up wrong. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing.

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.
