The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about Honeymoon Island. I’ve looked at what’s on the cards, and I gotta be straight with you — it’s a tough stretch. This sandbar rarely breaks as it is, and the next 16 days are looking pretty flat. There’s a big gap of nothing to start, and honestly, not one single standout session worth paddling out for.
The first sniff of any rideable bump doesn’t show up until Saturday the 9th of August, but even then we’re looking at a tiny 0.7ft of swell from the south with a short period, so it’s weak and messy. Morning might have clean conditions with a cross-offshore breeze, but the energy is barely there — combined energy is just 1. That’s not surf, that’s a ripple.
Monday the 11th of August Tuesday morning? Glassy. Flat. 0.3ft of south swell. You could probably stand up on a log and not move. The water temperature is sitting at 85°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit to stare at the flat ocean.
Things pick up a little toward the end of the run. Friday the 22nd of August Saturday morning sees the biggest bump of the whole forecast — 1ft from the west-northwest, period around 4 seconds, combined energy up to 6. That’s still tiny, weak, and the wind is light cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. Not exactly a day to call in sick for.
Overall, it’s a dry spell. Honeymoon Island is not offering anything worth chasing. A blank run like this is pretty normal for a spot that rarely breaks. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board at 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.
