The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be real about what’s on the table for the next 16 days. I’ve had a look at the only spot that popped up, and I gotta tell ya, it’s a tough stretch.
Honeymoon Island is the only game in town, and it’s a sandbar that rarely breaks. We’re looking at a long, bleak run with no real surf on offer. The first few days are a write-off. From Wednesday the 12th through to Sunday the 23rd, you’ll be staring at either flatness or waves that are barely a ripple. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least the swim will be warm.
The best we can see is a tiny pulse on the 19th of August. Wednesday morning brings a 1ft swell from the NW with a period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 7. The wind is onshore, but it’s light. It’s still poor surf, but if you’re desperate, that’s your window. Thursday the 20th is similar, with a 1ft swell from the WNW and a period of 4 seconds, energy at 4. Honestly, it’s not worth paddling out for.
The strongest combined energy we see is 16, on the afternoon of the 19th, but that’s with a tiny 1ft swell from the WNW. That’s still weak energy (less than 100). For the whole run, the swell direction is mostly NW to WNW, which is not the optimum SW direction for this spot.
There are a few mornings with clean, glassy conditions, like Friday the 14th morning and Saturday the 23rd morning, but there’s no swell to ride. It’s a cruel tease.
This is a spot that rarely breaks, so a blank run like this isn’t a surprise. The forecasts can change, but for now, you’d be better off doing something else. Don’t hold your breath.
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.
