The Lowdown
Rusty here. Let's be honest – Honeymoon Island is a dead zone for surf for the next two weeks. Nothing worth paddling out for.
The entire run from now through August 10th is flat. The combined swell energy is weak, almost always under 100 (reading 17, 28, 33, up to 57), and many days are 0 or 1 or 2. Wave heights are tiny, mostly 0.7ft to 3ft, with a 0.3ft day on August 6th. The swell period is short, 4 to 7 seconds, just wind chop.
Water temp is around 87°, running about 2° above average, so nothing crazy.
Monday July 28th morning: the biggest push, 3ft west swell, 5 seconds, 48 combined energy. But onshore wind at 22 mph, risk of thunderstorms, “poor surf conditions.”
Tuesday July 29th afternoon: 4ft west swell, 5 seconds, 57 combined energy, cross-onshore 19 mph, rain, lumpy. Still poor.
Wednesday July 30th morning: 3ft west, 6 seconds, 48 energy, onshore 16 mph, risk tstorm. No good.
Thursday August 1st afternoon: 3ft west, 5 seconds, 43 combined energy, cross-onshore 22 mph, risk tstorm. Nasty.
Even the glassy days, like August 4th morning and August 5th morning and August 6th morning, have almost nothing – 1.0ft, 0.7ft, 0.3ft – and energy 7, 3, 2. Flat.
Honeymoon Island is a sandbar that rarely breaks, and with no real swell and mostly onshore wind, forget it. Looks more like a place for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now.
These long flat spells are normal here. The forecasts can change, but right now the board stays in the truck.
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.
