The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you how it's looking for Honeymoon Island.
Honestly, mate, it's a tough stretch. We're looking at a solid run of flat, poor surf conditions that's going to stretch right through the first week and a half. The guidance has Honeymoon Island marked as a spot that rarely breaks, and this forecast is proving exactly why. The only real wave energy that shows up is weak and onshore, so we're in for a long wait.
Right from Tuesday the 25th, it's a non-starter. Winds are cross-on or onshore, and the combined swell energy is practically zero (0 to 1), with scraps of 0.7ft washing in at best. There’s a few mornings, like Thursday the 27th, where the wind goes glassy, but with no swell to push it, the ocean is just flat. That’s the pattern for the next week and a half. A few clean mornings, a few cross-off breezes, but the swell just isn't there. The water temp is 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won't be needing a wetsuit for a paddle-out that never happens.
Finally, around Monday the 7th of September, there's a tiny flicker. We see a 1ft swell from the NW with a combined energy of (5). The wind is a clean cross-off in the morning. Still, the wave comment calls it "poor surf conditions" and the height is absolutely tiny. Tuesday the 8th of September is a little better, a 2ft NW swell (9 energy) with offshore winds in the morning from the E. It’s clean, but it’s still a tiny, weak wave.
The best of a bad bunch looks to be Wednesday the 9th of September. We get a 2ft NW swell (16 energy) and clean, cross-off winds from the ESE in the morning. The period is a short 4 seconds, so it’s just a little windswell, but at least the conditions will be clean. Honestly, if you’re desperate for a splash, that’s your window. It won't be epic, but it beats the flat spell.
So, my call? A long dry run with one tiny, clean morning on Wednesday the 9th being the only real chance to wet a line.

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.
