The Lowdown
Alright folks, let's talk about Honeymoon Island. This sandbar spot is a tough one – it's one of those “rarely breaks” kinda places, and this 16-day window is proving that point. We're looking at a whole lot of nothing for a while.
The story starts on Monday the 24th of August, but it’s not a story worth telling. We’re talking about 0.7ft of swell from the WSW with a 3-second period. The combined energy is a pathetic 1 (weak energy). Wind is cross-on at 9 mph, making it choppy. The water is 89°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
The first week, right through the end of August, is a total wash. You get a few clean or glassy mornings, but there’s simply no swell. The 29th of August (Saturday morning) has a clean, light cross-off breeze, but the swell is a tiny 1ft from the NW at a 4-second period (energy of 2). It’s barely a ripple.
Into September, the same story. The morning of the 2nd of September is dead calm and glassy, but the swell is only 0.7ft. By the 5th and 6th of September (Saturday and Sunday mornings), we finally get a little bump. The 5th has a clean, light offshore breeze (NE at 6 mph) with 1ft from the NW at a 4-second period (energy of 6), and the 6th has glassy conditions again with the same tiny W swell. Still not enough for a proper surf.
Our best hope, and this is a long shot, is around the 7th and 8th of September (Monday and Tuesday). The swell finally kicks up a notch to 2ft to 2ft from the SW and WSW, with periods getting to 5 or 6 seconds. Energy finally gets into the double digits (17 and 29). The wind on the morning of the 7th is a light onshore from the W at just 3 mph, so it’ll be small and sloppy. By the 8th morning, it’s onshore again from the W at 6 mph, but the swell is a touch bigger. If you’re really hankering, you might find a tiny, weak wave. But honestly, this setup might be a bit more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, a massive blank run for Honeymoon Island. It’s a tough spot to catch, and this forecast doesn't have a single standout day. Hopefully things change, but for now, 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.
