The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this next 16 days is a tough one for Honeymoon Island. The whole run is a write-off. There’s no surf to speak of; every single day is flagged as poor surf conditions, and the scores reflect that. We’re looking at a long, empty stretch from now until the end of the forecast on July 29th.
The tiny bumps that show up are barely worth a mention. We’re talking about swell heights of 0.7ft to 2ft, with periods of just 3 to 5 seconds – that’s weak, short-period wind slop. The combined swell energy is laughably low, barely cracking double digits on a good day, with most readings around 2 to 18 (weak energy). The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, from the NW, WNW, or WSW, which is going to keep things messy. There’s no standout period, no solid groundswell to get excited about.
The water is unusually warm, at 89°F, which is 5°F warmer than average for this time of year – that’s notable, but it’s not helping the waves.
This spot is a sandbar that rarely breaks, and with nothing on the horizon, it’s not going to change. The forecast can always shift, but for now, this is a blank run. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the best chance might be a tiny window on the morning of the 27th of July when it’s glassy, but there’s zero swell energy (0) and no height. Honestly, it’s more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if the wind holds.
Hang in there, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
