The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty again. Let’s not sugarcoat it – Honeymoon Island (sandbar) is a ghost town for waves. This break rarely breaks, and the next two weeks prove it. You’re staring down a dry spell from September 12th right through to the 23rd. For nearly a week and a half, there’s nothing worth paddling for. Most days show either flatness or tiny 0.7ft to 2ft slop with periods as short as 2 to 7 seconds – weak stuff with combined swell energy in the single digits to low teens. The wind often keeps it clean, but you need swell, and there’s none.
The one real light on the horizon is very early on Friday, September 25th. That morning we’re looking at a 8ft swell from the WSW (the spot’s sweet spot is SW) with a period of 8 seconds. The combined swell energy hits a strong 628, and with a moderate offshore breeze from the ENE at 15 mph, it’s going to be clean and lined up. That’s your best chance for a decent wave. Just a heads up – anything over 8ft is expert-only, and the afternoon pushes it to 8ft, so it’s a big, powerful sandbar. The next day, Saturday the 26th, still has a manageable 6ft SW swell with clean cross-off winds, but nowhere near the quality of Friday.
The water temp anomaly isn’t listed, so I’ll just say it’s been about average for the season. Leave the board in the garage until that last week of September.
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.
