The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got the lowdown on Honeymoon Island for the next stretch. Let’s be straight with each other: this is not a classic run for this sandbar. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a dud for surfers, so don’t get your hopes up for anything special.
Right out of the gate, we’ve got almost nothing. The first real pulse of energy isn't until Monday the 28th of July, and even that is a bit of a joke. The water temp is sitting at a very warm 86°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least a swim will be nice.
The only time you even see a half-decent wave is around Monday the 3rd of August. There’s a small groundswell showing up from the WSW, pushing 4ft, and the combined energy of all swells from that morning is moderate at 134. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s not going to have much shape, more like a fat, weak wall. The wind Monday morning is a light breeze from the SW, which is a cross-onshore, so it will be a bit bumpy. Still, that morning is your best shot at anything rideable, but it’s really only for the most committed.
Tuesday the 4th of August morning is the only time it cleans up. A tiny 3ft swell from the W, but the wind goes light offshore from the NNE, making it glassy. The combined energy is weak at 44, and with a 6-second period, it’s barely a wave. It will be clean, just incredibly weak.
For the rest of the run, it’s onshore junk or no energy at all. The surf is basically a write-off. This sandbar rarely breaks anyway, so a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, but this one’s a miss.

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.
