Table - best surf conditions forecast for Honeymoon Island over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for Honeymoon Island.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – this outlook is a tough one. We are looking at a solid 16-day window with not a single session that I’d call good. The whole run is a write-off for decent surf. There’s no standouts, no hidden gems, just a long stretch of flat, weak, or messy conditions. The first hint of any swell doesn’t even show up until Monday the 20th, and even then it’s barely a pulse.
The water is a standout feature though – it’s sitting at 89°F and that’s a massive 5°F warmer than what’s normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual, and it’s going to feel like a bath.
For the first week and a half, from Monday the 13th right through to Sunday the 19th, we’ve got tiny waves. We’re talking ankle-biters to knee-high at best, with the combined energy only reaching 33 on the 18th, which is weak. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, making what little there is a choppy mess. There’s a brief moment on Wednesday the 15th morning where it goes glassy, but the swell is only 1ft from the NW with a period of 5 seconds – it’s barely a ripple.
The only slight nudge of life comes on Monday the 20th. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the west, with the combined energy hitting 58. Still, the period is a short 5 seconds, and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore. It’s not going to break well, and it’s gonna be choppy. For a more experienced crew, it might be a bit of a fun novelty, but it’s not a recommendation.
After that, it fades back into nothing. By the 24th and 25th, we’re looking at zero energy again. The last few days of the window show a couple of glassy mornings with offshore breezes on the 27th and 28th, but the swell is flat – the combined energy is 0. There’s nothing to ride.
This kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area. The sandbar here is already noted as rarely breaking, so when the swell is this small and the wind is this messy, it’s just not happening. The setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddleboard right now. Forecasts can always change, but as it stands, leave the boards at home.
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.
