The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's size up what's coming.
Got to be honest, the next 16 days are looking real flat. There's a big empty patch with no real waves to speak of. The only spot in the game is Honeymoon Island, and it's a place that rarely breaks, so we're fighting a losing battle from the get-go.
The water is sitting at 89° at the start, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least a swim feels good.
We start off Sunday the 23rd of August with a tiny, weak 2ft swell from the WSW. That's a 4-second period, so it's just wind chop, and with a cross-on breeze at 12 mph, it's going to be choppy and messy. The combined energy is a paltry 9—barely a ripple. The whole first week is a bust. We see a few days with zero swell, and even when a 1ft bump shows up on the 29th, the wind is on it. There's a glassy moment on the morning of the 27th, but with no swell, it's just a flat, pretty lake.
The gap of no-good surf runs from the 23rd of August right through to the 5th of September. That's a solid two weeks of nada. There's a tiny flicker of hope on the 6th of September—a 1ft swell from the NW with glassy conditions in the morning. But with a 4-second period, it's still just weak, small waves. The energy is only 3.
Honestly, for this stretch, there's nothing to get excited about. The setup is better suited for a kite than a paddle if you're really itching. The forecasts can change, but right now, it's a blank run that's pretty normal for the area.
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.
