The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch looks pretty bleak for anyone wanting to get wet. We've got a solid 16-day window, but honestly, the first week and a half is a write-off.
Looking at the whole picture, the swell just doesn’t have any grunt. The wind is mostly on it or cross-on, and it's just messy. For the first nine days from Tuesday, August 18th through to Wednesday, August 26th, it's all “poor surf conditions” – tiny windswell, a lot of side or onshore breeze, and nothing that's going to get your heart rate up. There are no standouts at all in that period. It's just flat and choppy.
The only glimmer of hope, and I’m stretching here, comes on Monday morning, August 24th. At Honeymoon Island, the wind goes cross-off from the SE at 9 mph, and the surf report actually calls it “clean.” The swell is a tiny 0.3 ft from the SW with period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is weak at (112), and it's still rated as poor quality. So it's not a goer, just the least terrible looking window in a sea of nothing.
After that, we get a brief tease on Monday, August 31st. That morning at Honeymoon Island it's glassy with an easterly breeze at 3 mph, but the swell is still tiny at 2 ft from the SW with a short 4-second period. Energy is weak (14). Even though it's glassy, the swell has no push.
Bottom line: there isn't a single surfable wave in this entire 16-day forecast. Don't bother waxing up. The conditions are poor. For the whole run, water temp is about 89° and a touch warmer than normal for the time of year.
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.
