The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for Honeymoon Island. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty bleak, so don’t go getting your hopes up.
We’ve got a real dry spell on our hands. The first recommendation doesn’t even pop up until the 1st of August, and even then, it’s a grim picture. Through the first week, we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel. The combined swell energy is weak, barely cracking 64 (moderate wave energy) at its best, and the swell periods are short, mostly around 5 seconds, so it’s all windswell with no real punch. The winds are a constant problem, mostly cross-onshore or onshore, making it choppy and messy. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about, but you won’t be needing a thick suit for the meager 2ft waves we’re seeing.
The only faint glimmer might be on the 5th of August, Wednesday morning, when we get a light offshore breeze from the ESE, cleaning up a tiny 0.7ft ripple from the west. But let’s be real, that’s barely a paddle. It’s glassy, sure, but there’s nothing to ride. The same goes for the 16th of August, Sunday morning, when we get a clean 1ft ripple from the WNW with an offshore wind – it’s the best of a bad bunch, but it’s still a long way from surfable.
The second week is even quieter. From the 8th of August right through to the 15th, we’re looking at flat spells, with combined energy values of 0 or 1. There are a few moments of glassy conditions on the 10th, 11th, and 12th of August, but the swell is virtually non-existent. It’s a classic case of “no swell, no surf.”
This is a spot that rarely breaks anyway, so a blank run like this isn’t totally out of the ordinary. It’s a sandbar setup, and it’s just not cooperating. With the wind and lack of size, if you’re desperate for a fix, you might be better off looking at a kite setup than a surfboard. Honestly, the best advice I can give is to wait for a better forecast. It tends not to stay this poor for long.
Stay patient.

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.
