Yes, bad weather, most, though not all the guesthouses on the islands will be closed and the boat services will be less frequent -- p'haps just one a day.

January is not an ideal time to visit the Perhentians.
Maybe you should consider Penang island? There's some beaches there too, although definitely not comparable to the idyllic Perhentians.
Penang is also much easier and faster to get to from Had Yai (or most places in S. Thailand).
