The Lowdown
Imperial
Alright, let's talk it through in feet, because that's how we dream it. The outlook is grim, I won't lie. From the start of the forecast right through to the middle of August, we're staring at a wasteland. A solid two-week stretch with no surf to speak of. The only tiny glimmer of hope is right at the very end, on the morning of Thursday, 15th August.
The only spot in the game is Honeymoon Island, a sandbar that *rarely breaks*, so a long flat spell here is just business as usual. The first week is all onshore wind and tiny, weak windswell from the west, with the combined wave energy barely registering (28-40). Water temp is about normal for the season.
So, the one and only standout. On the morning of Thursday, 15th August, we get a tiny little window. The swell is a puny 2 feet from the northwest, with a period of just 4 seconds – junk, really. The combined energy is a pathetic 7. But brother, the wind is forecast to be glassy. Not a ripple. That’s huge. That 2 feet will be the cleanest, most inviting little wave you’ve seen in weeks. It’s not gonna be powerful, it’s not gonna be big, but for a beginner or someone just needing to get wet, it’s your only chance. Crowds won't be a problem because it's so inconsistent. For anything with any real push, you're out of luck. The conditions are too messy for kitesurfing to be any good, either.

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.
