The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the local surf scene for the next couple of weeks. I’m gonna level with you straight up: it’s a quiet stretch. Usually, when we get a run like this, it’s just the way the area goes—nothing’s happening, and we wait for the charts to spin something our way.
We’re looking at a long dry spell on the wave front. From Wednesday 9 September all the way through to Tuesday 22 September, there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. Day after day of flat conditions or tiny, wind-affected scraps. The swell energy is a big fat zero for most of it, barely reaching 2 to 4 in the combined energy stakes towards the end. That’s weak. Real weak.
The first real bump shows up on Tuesday afternoon, 22 September, at Honeymoon Island. We get a little pulse from the north, pushing 3 ft at a short period of 4 seconds. Combined energy hits 21, so still very weak. Wind’s coming cross-off from the ESE at 19 mph, so it’ll be clean. But honestly, that’s a tiny, gutless windswell. Not gonna get your heart racing.
Then Wednesday 23 September afternoon is the best of a bad lot. Again at Honeymoon Island, we see 3 ft from the north, 4-second period, combined energy of 22, and this time winds are offshore from the east at 22 mph. That’ll keep the surface glassy, but the swell is short period and weak. For a sandbar that rarely breaks, this is a tiny window, but it’s still only for proper small-wave craft. The time of year water temp is about average, nothing wild.
That’s your lot. Nothing to write home about. The standout, if you can call it that, is the Wednesday 23 September afternoon session for a bit of clean small-wave practice. But don’t get your hopes up.

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.
