The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty again. Let’s talk about Honeymoon Island in proper feet and knots. This 16-day stretch is a tough one – the sandbar is rarely breaking, and this forecast shows exactly why. There’s a long, flat gap with only tiny, poor-quality dribble scattered through.
Starting Friday, 4 September, we got a 1ft swell from the SSW, but cross and cross-onshore wind at 9 – 12 knots makes it choppy and ugly. Combined swell energy is weak (2 – 4), and the period is a pathetic 3 seconds – that’s just wind chop.
From Saturday, 5 September through Sunday, 6 September it goes completely flat with onshore westerly wind. Dead. Monday, 7 September sees a 1ft NW swell, but onshore wind again, energy at 3 – 5. Tuesday, 8 September morning goes glassy with a light 3-knot SE breeze, but the swell is only 0.7ft from the WNW – barely a ripple.
Wednesday, 9 September morning is clean with an offshore E wind at 6 knots, but the swell is a sad 0.3ft from the NW. Thursday, 10 September has a 0.7ft S pulse with light cross-onshore wind. The flat spell dominates the rest of the first week and all of the second week. We get tiny bumps on 13 September (1ft NW, 3 sec, 3 energy) and 18 September (2ft S, 3 sec, 5 energy), but wind is up or chop is present.
Saturday, 19 September morning is the best of a bad lot – 1ft from the WSW, a light cross-offshore SSE breeze at 6 knots, energy 5, clean. But the period is still only 3 seconds, so no power or shape. This spot is a sandbar that rarely breaks, and this outlook is a textbook example of why – a long stretch of flatness and only puny, weak pulses. The combined swell energy never cracks double digits across the whole 16 days.
If you’re a kite surfer, the onshore winds on a few of those days might get you moving, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a long wait. Stay patient.
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.
