The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here, and I’m looking at Honeymoon Island. It’s a quiet picture for the next 16 days.
Honestly, there’s not a single day that’s worth a hoot. The swell energy is barely a whisper – numbers like (5), (1), and (3) mean these are weak, tiny bumps. Wave heights never get above 2 ft, with short periods of 2 to 4 seconds, so it’s all just wind chop, not real swell.
From August 28th right through September 12th, it’s a long run of “poor surf conditions” on the board. A few mornings clean up, like Saturday the 29th with glassy winds out of the ENE, but the swell is a measly 0.7 ft. It’s flat. Same on Monday the 1st and Wednesday the 3rd – clean air, but no rideable surf. Any little bump, like 1 ft from the NW, gets blown out by cross-onshore or onshore winds, so it’s messy.
Come September 7th, the onshore wind picks up from the WNW at 15-25 km/h, and the energy climbs to a weak (6) or (7), but it’s still just 1 ft to 2 ft of lumpy, onshore slop. The water is around 87°F, a touch warmer than average, but that doesn’t help when there’s nothing to ride.
For a spot that rarely breaks, this is a barren stretch. Don’t waste your time. A change in the forecast could happen, but as it stands, 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.
