The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day stretch for Honeymoon Island is a tough one to call. We’re looking at a real flat spell up front, and the only whisper of activity comes late in the second week. But don't expect much.
The entire period kicks off with a long, dry run. From Saturday the 29th of August all the way through to the morning of Saturday the 12th of September, there are no recommendations worth paddling out for. That’s a solid two weeks with nothing doing. The afternoon of the 12th of September finally shows a tiny pulse, but it is not the kind of energy that gets the heart rate up.
The only real "standout" – and I use that term loosely – happens on the morning of Saturday the 12th of September. We get a bit of swell pushing in, reading 3ft from the west, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is weak (40). That’s not groundswell, just a weak windswell. The winds are light, coming from the WNW, but they are onshore, so it’s going to be a bit messy. The break is a sandbar that rarely breaks, so the fact it’s showing anything at all is notable, but you’d be scratching for a wave. The best of the rest is the afternoon of the 12th, with 2ft from the west, period of 6 seconds, and combined energy (30), but still onshore.
Water temperature is sitting at 87° – a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Sunday the 13th of September morning has a small 2ft west swell, but with a 5-second period and light cross-shore wind, it’s more of a bump than a wave. The afternoon sees 1ft from the WNW with a moderate cross-onshore breeze, so it’s choppy.
Honestly, given the tiny swell, poor quality, and the fact this is a sandbar that rarely breaks, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. There’s nothing here to get excited about. Keep the board in the bag.
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.
