The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a chat about the next 16 days at Honeymoon Island.
Honestly, it's a rough run. The sandbar here is a rare beast anyway, and this outlook is a long stretch of flat, unrideable nothing. There is no surf to speak of. The first 16 days are a complete blank. Every single entry is marked as poor surf conditions with zero energy. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 88°, but that's the only thing worth noting.
For the whole period, from the 26th of August right through to the 10th of September, the combined energy of all swells is a flat zero (0). The few times a tiny swell shows up, it's a pathetic 0.7ft with a period of 2 to 4 seconds – that's just wind slop, not a wave you can ride. The wind, when it's not onshore, is cross-shore or cross-off, but it doesn't matter because there's nothing to surf.
The mornings are often clean, but that's a clean ocean with no waves. It's a tough one for the paddlers out there. This isn't a surprise though; it's a spot that rarely breaks, so a blank run like this is more normal for the area. We just have to wait for the next system to spin something up. It tends not to stay poor for long, and forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.
Stay patient,
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.
