The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what we’ve got for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is looking flat as a pancake for Honeymoon Island. There’s no real surf to speak of at any point. The first few days are a total write-off, with tiny, weak swells and poor surf conditions. From Wednesday the 15th right through to the end of the month, it’s the same story. We’re looking at a long, dry spell.
The water is sitting at about 89°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, but with no waves, it’s just a warm bath. The combined swell energy barely reaches double digits, maxing out at a weak 55 (later on the 28th), and that’s still not enough to push anything rideable. The swell direction is mostly from the west-northwest, which isn’t what this sandbar really wants.
The best of a bad bunch, if you’re desperate for a paddle, would be the morning of Saturday the 25th of July. The wind swings to east and goes glassy, and the swell is tiny at 0.7 ft from the WNW. It’s still poor surf, but at least it’s clean. Then on Sunday the 26th of July morning, we get a glassy calm with 2 ft from the WNW, but the period is a short 4 seconds, so it won’t have any push. Honestly, it’s not worth the effort.
Because Honeymoon Island rarely breaks and is inconsistent, a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area. The model is showing zero recommendations for a reason. It’s a flat spell, plain and simple. Don’t force it. The setup might be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on the few days with a little breeze.
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.
