The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one to write. We’re looking at the next 16 days for Honeymoon Island, and to be honest, the surf forecast is about as flat as a pond on a windless day.
The whole period is a bust. There’s not a single decent wave on offer. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real swell to speak of. The swell energy is weak, with combined energy values barely hitting double digits. For example, the highest reading we see is a paltry 16, and most days are sitting at zero. That’s nothing to get excited about.
The water temperature is sitting at a warm 86°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least a dip in the water would be nice, but you won’t be surfing.
The spot itself, Honeymoon Island, is a sandbar that rarely breaks. It’s fairly exposed to a SW swell, but the guidance suggests it’s only an intermediate spot. With no swell, it doesn’t matter. The winds are all over the place, from glassy calm to offshore, but with no waves, clean conditions are just a pretty picture.
We’re looking at a solid 16-day gap with no surf. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s normal. The only thing worth mentioning is that on the morning of the 15th of August, we might see a tiny 1 ft swell from the S with a period of 5 seconds, but that’s a weak, choppy mess. Combined energy of 8. It’s not worth paddling out for.
Honestly, this is a kite-surfing week if you’re desperate, but for paddle surfing, keep the board in the car. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a no-go.
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.
