The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's cut straight to it.
Mate, I've seen flat spells, and this two-week window is about as flat as they come around here. Honeymoon Island is looking like a lake, not a surf break. The water's a balmy 30°, which is pretty standard for the season, so you'll be warm while you're sitting there waiting for a wave that isn't coming.
It starts Thursday the 13th of August, and all we've got is a tiny 1ft northwest windswell. The period is a shocking 4 seconds and the wind is all wrong, blowing cross-onshore. The combined energy is a pathetic (5). It's just poor surf. That afternoon bumps up to 2ft but it's still ugly.
Friday the 14th drops further to 0.7ft in the morning with a glassy wind, but there's no energy behind it. Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th are completely flat. The file keeps saying "poor surf conditions" and it's not wrong.
The second week offers nothing better. On Monday the 17th, we get a 2ft wave, but it's a 3-second windswell with an onshore wind. Total rubbish. The only glimmer is a couple glassy mornings around the 21st and 22nd of August, but the swell is tiny at 0.7ft to 1ft. You'd be lucky to get a ripple. The 23rd of August is a total zero.
For a spot that rarely breaks, this is a textbook dry spell. The swell just isn't in the cards, the energy is all weak (under 10), and the consistency is terrible. I wouldn't bother waxing a board. This setup looks far better for a kite or just a long, cold beer on the beach. Not much else to say.

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.
