The Lowdown
Right, look, I’ve had a good look through the next 16 days for Honeymoon Island (sandbar). The honest truth is, it’s looking pretty flat and quiet for the whole stretch. We’ve got a long gap of almost nothing happening right out of the gate.
The Full Outlook
For the first week, from the 1st of September right through to the 13th of September, there’s barely a ripple. The combined swell energy is stuck at zero or just a measly 1 to 2, which is basically dead flat. It’s a real bummer. There’s a tiny blip on the 2nd of September afternoon with a glassy 1ft from the NW, but that’s riding a 2-second period – that’s just wind slop, not a wave you can actually do anything with. The same goes for a few other afternoons with 0.7ft or 1ft… just no juice. For nearly two weeks, you’d be staring at a lake.
Then, we finally get a little pulse of life on the 13th of September Sunday afternoon. The combined swell energy jumps a little to 11, with a 2ft swell from the west at 4 seconds. It’s still not big, but it’s the most energy we see. The wind is a cross-onshore though, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. The morning of the 14th and 15th of September are the best bet – clean, moderate offshore winds from the east, with consistent 1ft swells from the northwest at 4 seconds. The combined energy is a 4-6, so it’s weak, but for a sandbar that rarely breaks, this is the only window that offers a few small, clean little waves. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
To be honest, with such small swell and poor quality, this setup is far more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. It’s just not going to hold for a proper surf. Crowds are possible here, but with this surf, you probably won’t have to worry about a lineup.

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.
