The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Honeymoon Island.
Honestly, it's a pretty grim picture for the next sixteen days. The swell is basically non-existent. There's a long stretch of nothing but flat, clean conditions. The only tiny blips of swell are weak, short-period everything, barely a ripple. You're looking at a whole lot of days where the water's glassy but there's simply nothing to ride. The first few days of the forecast, from Tuesday the 8th right through to the end of the first week, are a total write-off. The only real window for a paddle is a few days of tiny, knee-high slop, but it's hardly worth getting excited about.
The only break that gets a mention here is Honeymoon Island. It's a sandbar that rarely breaks, so this flat spell is pretty normal for the area. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 88°.
The only time you'll see any wave height is from Sunday the 13th of September onwards, but we're talking about tiny 0.7ft swells. For example, on the morning of Saturday the 13th, there's 1.0ft of swell from the S, with a period of just 4 seconds. That's windswell, weak and gutless. The combined energy is a pathetic 3 (three). The wind is light and cross-offshore, so the surface will be clean, but the waves won't have any push. The following week offers a few more of these tiny, windswell pulses, with the same result: clean, but flat. The winds stay mostly light to moderate, keeping it clean, but there's just no power in the water.
If you're a kitesurfer, the steady onshore winds on the 22nd and 23rd of September might be of interest, but for a paddle surfer, there's nothing to work with. The only saving grace is that the conditions are often glassy or clean, so you could still get a nice swim in.

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.
