The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for Honeymoon Island is pretty grim for the next sixteen days. We're looking at a real dry spell here, so don't get your hopes up.
Right now, and for the next week and a half, the wave energy is basically non-existent. We're talking about tiny dribbles of swell, a mere 1 (combined swell energy) on Monday afternoon, with a few fleeting moments where it might hit 7 (combined swell energy). The swell is tiny, mostly under 2 ft, and coming from the south or northwest with a short, weak period. It's just not going to hold up. For a spot that rarely breaks, this kind of flat spell is more normal for the area. The water temperature is sitting at a warm 86°, which is about average for this time of year.
Even when the wind goes glassy or offshore, like on Tuesday morning the 11th, the waves are too small to bother with. You'll be sitting out there waiting for nothing. The whole first week is a write-off for any kind of real surfing. There's a bit of a pulse around the 19th and 20th, with the swell energy climbing to 22 and then 35 (combined swell energy), and we even get some clean conditions with offshore and glassy winds. But the swell is still only 2 ft to 3 ft from the west, which is still pretty marginal for a sandbar that only works on a good day.
To be honest, the setup here looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the persistent onshore and cross-onshore winds we see later on.
There is no standout session here. There are no good options in this 16-day window. If you have to get wet, keep an eye on the 19th and 20th when the wind cleans up, but the waves will be barely rideable for a longboard. Forecasts can change, but for now, this is a flat spell to sleep in.
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.
