The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be real. It’s a tough stretch for Honeymoon Island. This sandbar rarely breaks, and that’s the story for the next 16 days. The whole window is a write-off, plain and simple. You’ve got a long gap of nothing worth paddling for.
Right now, there’s no surf to speak of. The first few days are just a mess – tiny, weak swell and messy wind. Friday the 17th has a tiny 2 ft from the northwest, but that’s a 4-second period, so it’s just wind chop. The water is 89°, which is a whopping 5° warmer than usual for this time of year, seriously warm. Combined swell energy is basically nothing, barely 20. Not even worth a look.
The whole run from the 17th right through to the end of the month is the same story: minimal swell, poor surf conditions, and cross or onshore winds. The swell height never gets above 3 ft, and the periods are mostly short, under 8 seconds, so it’s all weak, crumbly, and unorganized. The combined energy stays low, often in the single digits or low 20’s. There’s no stand-out day, no clean window.
You’d be better off leaving the boards at home. This kind of blank run is pretty normal for a spot that rarely breaks. Conditions can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.

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.
