The Lowdown
Alright, folks, it’s Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for Honeymoon Island and I gotta tell you, it’s looking like a whole lot of nothing for a good long while. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but for most of it, you’d be better off leaving the board in the car.
Right from the get-go, Friday the 21st, the surf is just about non-existent. We’re talking knee-high slop at best, like 0.7ft of windswell with a super short 4-second period. The combined energy is weak, only reading 2. It’s just poor surf conditions. The water temp is sitting at 89°F, which is a huge 4°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s the first thing you’ll notice when you get in – it’s like bathwater out there.
The whole weekend and into next week doesn’t get any better. Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd are the same story – tiny, weak swells with no push. The energy is pitiful, 2 and 1 respectively. We get a little glassy moment early Monday morning, but with no swell at all. It’s flat. The pattern just keeps repeating: small, weak, and disorganized. A bit of a breeze here, a glassy dawn there, but nothing that will get your heart rate up. The combined wave energy values are all in the low single digits – basically, the ocean is taking a nap.
This dry spell stretches on for the better part of a week and a half. There’s a couple of days where it’s clean due to offshore or cross-offshore winds, but with the swell being zero or close to it, it’s pointless. It’s only towards the very end, on Tuesday the 1st of September, that we get a whisper of a wave – 0.3ft from the south with a 5-second period and a gentle offshore wind. But that’s not surf, that’s a ripple.
To be honest, the whole setup looks like it's going to be better for a spot of kite surfing than paddle surfing. With the lack of any decent swell and the afternoon breezes, there’s just nothing to ride. This is a spot that rarely breaks anyway, and it’s holding true to its name. A blank stretch like this is pretty normal for the area, so don't go getting too down about it. Forecasts change, so keep your eyes peeled, but for now, find something else to do. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
