The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Honeymoon Island over the next 16 days is as flat as a day-old beer. There’s no good surf on offer anywhere in this window. Every single day comes up with a score of zero. It’s a tough run.
The only wave heights we see are tiny, mostly 0.7ft to 1ft, with a touch of 1.6ft and 2ft right at the very end. The combined swell energy is pathetic – a 1 or 2 most days, with a few nudges into the teens way out near 8th and 9th September. Even then, the wave comment says “poor surf conditions” every single time. There’s no standout swell, no period worth writing home about – the longest period we see is a 6-second blip on the 11th of September, which is still short-period, weak stuff.
The wind does offer some clean moments – there are a few mornings with offshore breezes, even a glassy session on the afternoon of the 31st of August – but with barely a ripple on the surface, it’s a lake. Water temp sits at 87.1°F, which is 2.2°F warmer than average – a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, but that’s not gonna help bring any surf. This break is listed as “rarely breaks” for consistency, and this forecast backs that up. For a sandbar setup like Honeymoon Island, this kind of blank run is pretty normal. It tends not to stay poor for long, forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to paddle for. Leave the board home.

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.
