The Lowdown
Alright, this is a tough one to call, folks. Surfline’s telling me there’s a real drought on for Honeymoon Island. For the next two weeks and a bit, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. The combined swell energy barely ever gets into double figures, and when it does, it’s still weak. The water temp is sitting at 85°, which is pretty normal for this time of year – no weird anomalies to report.
So, let’s be straight: there are no good surf options on the cards in this 16-day window. The break is a sandbar that rarely breaks anyway, and this forecast is just confirming the worst. We’ve got a solid 14-day gap from the start of the forecast period with absolutely nothing worth paddling for. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and when there’s any shape at all, the wind is usually cross-on or onshore, messing it up.
The only flicker of life, if you can call it that, shows up around Sunday, August 23rd. On the morning of the 23rd, we get a tiny 2ft swell from the west, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy climbs to a still-paltry 23 (weak). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the southeast, which will keep the surface clean. It’s still a tiny, weak wave, but it’s the cleanest window we’ve got. The afternoon sees a similar 2ft west swell (24 combined energy), but the wind swings to a light cross-on from the northwest, putting a little bump on the surface.
For a spot that’s already inconsistent and rarely breaks, this is a real bust. The setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, but even then, the energy is just too low. We’ll have to hope the forecasts change, because it can’t stay this flat forever.

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.
