The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a long, hard look at what’s cookin’ for Honeymoon Island over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, I gotta level with you. The next 16 days are a total flat spell. There’s barely a ripple worth paddling for the entire stretch. We’re looking at a big, fat gap in quality surf right from the get-go. From now through to the end of the month, the swell is just pitiful. We see nothing but tiny waves – mostly under 2 ft – and combined wave energy is almost always in the single digits or low teens, with only a couple of spots creeping into the 30s and 40s. That’s weak energy, folks.

The one tiny glimmer – and I mean *tiny* – comes on Wednesday, August 19th. There’s a little bump of swell rolling in overnight, with a combined energy of (44). It’s a WNW swell around 2 ft with a period of 6 seconds. Short period, windswell junk, but the morning is glassy with a risk of thunderstorms. That glassy wind is a massive positive for Honeymoon Island, which is a sandbar that rarely breaks. So, for a few hours, if you’re a complete waterman who can make something out of nothing, you might find a clean but tiny little knee-high wave. The swell direction from the WNW is a fair match for the break’s optimum SW direction, so you might get a little something out of it.

After that, it’s right back to near-zero energy. The rest of the month sees more flat, calm mornings with glassy or clean conditions, but absolutely no swell to speak of. By the final week of August, we’re looking at a few days of clean, light offshore winds on the 23rd and 24th, but with swell barely registering. It’s a cruel tease.

Bottom line: There is nothing here for the average surfer. The setup is so small and weak it would look more interesting for a kite surfer on a foil board than a paddle surfer. Honeymoon Island is a rare break anyway, so a long dry spell like this is normal for the area. Keep your board in the car, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
