The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with you: it's a pretty bleak run for Honeymoon Island. This sandbar setup is known as 'rarely breaks' and that's proving true. The water is sitting at 86°F, which is about normal for this time of year, but you won't be needing your wettie for a paddle-out.
The entire 16-day window is a write-off for any proper surf. We're looking at a long stretch of nothing. From Sunday, August 2nd right through to Monday, August 17th, every single session is flagged as "poor surf conditions." The swell energy is pitiful – the highest reading is a measly 80 (moderate) on Sunday afternoon, but that's paired with a fresh cross-onshore wind and a tiny 4ft swell from the SW. The period is a short 5 seconds, so it's just wind chop. The rest of the time, the combined energy barely cracks double digits, often sitting at 0 or 1 – that's weak to non-existent.
There is a brief moment of glass on Tuesday afternoon, August 4th, with a 2ft swell, but it's so small and weak (energy of 15) it's not worth paddling for. A few mornings have clean conditions with offshore winds, like Friday morning, August 7th, but again, the swell is a joke at 1.0ft. The same story repeats for the second week. Some glassy spells and clean mornings, but zero to negligible swell.
Bottom line: there's nothing to get excited about here. It's a flat spell with no standout waves. If you're desperate for a splash, the cleanest conditions will be on those glassy mornings, but you'll be bobbing around on lake-like ripples. The setup looks more interesting for a kite if the wind picks up, but for a surfboard, leave it 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.
