The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Honeymoon Island over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The entire 16-day window is a bit of a bust, with no real standout sessions. From Thursday the 30th of July right through to Friday the 14th of August, it’s all “poor surf conditions” and tiny, weak energy. The combined swell energy never gets out of the weak range, topping out at just 38 (for a brief moment on Friday the 31st of July afternoon). That’s not gonna spin you around.
The first few days, from Thursday the 30th of July right through the weekend, are a write-off. We’ve got a messy, small 3 ft swell from the WSW and W, with a short, weak period of 4 to 5 seconds. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and blown out. Not worth a second look.
We then hit a big gap. From Wednesday the 5th of August through to Tuesday the 11th of August, the ocean goes flat. Zero energy, zero swell. The wind is light and sometimes clean, but there’s simply nothing to ride. A few days there with nothing at all.
The only tiny flicker of life comes on Tuesday the 11th of August morning. We get a glassy, clean window with a tiny 1 ft from the NW. The period is a pathetic 3 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly 3. That’s not a surf session, that’s a bath. It’s the only moment of the whole outlook where the wind is truly favourable, but there’s no power behind it.
If you’re a beginner, the swell never gets above 5 ft, so that’s not a problem – the problem is there’s no swell at all. For experts, there’s nothing to work with. The break is a rare sandbar that rarely breaks, and this forecast confirms it. It’s one of those spots that just doesn’t fire without a proper push, and we just don’t have one here.
So, the honest truth? There’s nothing to get excited about. Don’t bother checking the cam for the next two weeks. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual. Forecasts can change, but right now, you’re better off finding something else to do.
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.
