The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll be straight with you. This is a rough one. I’m looking at the next 16 days and honestly, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. Honeymoon Island is showing as "rarely breaks" and this forecast is a classic example of that. There's no surf on offer right now and we’re looking at a long, empty stretch.
For the whole first week, from Saturday the 22nd of August through to the end of the month, the swell is tiny – we’re talking about 0.3m to 0.5m at best, with very weak combined wave energy, usually just 1 to 13. The period is short, mostly 3 to 5 seconds, so it’s all windswash and closeout slop. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, so it’s choppy and messy. There are a few glassy mornings early on, like Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th, but with no swell to work with, it’s just a flat, clean lake.
The water is noticeably warm – it’s running at 32° on the 22nd and the anomaly is 2° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a solid jump, so you can leave the wetsuit at home, but you won’t need it for surfing here.
As we move into the first week of September, there’s still no real hope. A few tiny pulses of 0.4m to 0.5m from the south show up around the 31st of August and 4th of September, but the energy is still weak (7 to 13) and the period stays short. Winds are all over the place, mostly cross-off in the mornings but onshore or cross-on in the afternoons. It’s just not enough to push a wave that holds up.
This is a long, empty run. For a spot that rarely breaks, this kind of blank spell is pretty normal. Don’t hold your breath.

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.
