Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the forecast for Honeymoon Island. I'll be straight with you – it's a quiet stretch ahead. We've got a 16-day window, but the first recommendation doesn't come until Tuesday, July 14th. Before that, it's a mix of onshore wind and tiny dribble, so don't bother paddling out. From that point on, it stays marginal, but there are a few windows where things clean up enough for a session.
Starting Tuesday, July 14th, we finally get a little something. The morning sees a small pulse of 2ft swell from the WNW, and the real saviour is a light offshore wind from the east at 9 mph. That offshore breeze will make the surface glassy and clean, even if the waves are small. The combined swell energy is still weak at (20), but for a rarely breaking sandbar like this, an offshore day is your best bet. The water is sitting at a very warm 89°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a real standout anomaly. The afternoon gets choppy again as the wind swings NW and picks up, so get it early.
After that, the rest of the week and into the next is a rinse-and-repeat of cross-to onshore winds and tiny swell, never topping 3ft. There's a brief cleaner window on the morning of Wednesday, July 15th, with a light ENE breeze at 3 mph, but the swell is even smaller at 1ft and the energy is minimal at (8). It's barely worth a mention.
Looking further out, around Tuesday, July 21st, the swell does start to build a touch, reaching 3ft from the west by the afternoon, and the combined energy climbs to (25). But the wind is cross-on or onshore from the WSW, making it messy. This pattern holds right through to the end of the window on July 26th, with the biggest day being Saturday, July 25th, with a 3ft west swell and moderate (42) energy, but again, onshore wind from the west.
Honestly, for a spot that rarely breaks and with so much onshore wind, the only standout is that Tuesday, July 14th morning session. If you're desperate for a paddle, that's your window for a few clean, knee-high waves. Otherwise, it's a long wait.
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.
