The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Honeymoon Island.
Straight off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a dud, and I mean a total flat spell. There’s just not a single session I can recommend paddling out for. The first record we get is on Saturday the 18th of July, and it’s already a write-off. We’ve got a tiny 3ft south swell with a short, weak period of 4 seconds – that’s just wind slop, not real surf. The combined energy is a measly 23, and with a south wind howling at 16 mph putting a cross-chop on it, conditions are just poor. And it doesn’t get any better.
The next two weeks are a repeating pattern of the same story. The swell tries to nudge up a little, hitting about 4ft on the Sunday morning, but it’s still a short-period windswell from the south, and the wind is strong and cross-shore at 19 mph. The water temp is a notable 89°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bath, but you won’t be catching any waves in it.
The only slight change comes around the 28th and 29th of July, when the swell pushes to 3ft and the period stretches to 6 seconds. But the wind then swings onshore, fresh to strong, hitting 25 mph, and the combined energy just reaches 60-62. That setup is not for a paddle board – if you’ve got a kite, that onshore breeze and lumpy water might be more interesting, but for surfing, it’s a no-go.
The whole period is a long, blank run. This spot is a sandbar that rarely breaks, and unfortunately, this forecast proves why. It’s just not happening for the next 16 days. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to chase.
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.
