The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, shifting to feet and knots. Let me level with you about Honeymoon Island. I've looked right across the next 16 days and, to be honest, it's a pretty tough watch. The whole stretch is looking flat or very small, with poor conditions. It's going to be a long wait.
We kick off the forecast period on Thursday, September 3rd. Morning shows a gentle offshore breeze, which is a good sign, but there's literally no swell to work with. That afternoon, the wind goes glassy, but the swell is a dribbly 0.7ft from the SSE with a short, weak period of 3 seconds. The combined energy is only 1, so it's a total non-event.
Friday the 4th sees the swell bump up to 2ft from the SSW, but the wind is a moderate cross-onshore breeze at 12 knots, making it choppy. Not worth a paddle. Saturday is even smaller, with 1ft waves and cross-onshore winds again. Sunday and Monday stay in the same miserable boat – tiny, weak, and messy. We're looking at a week of mostly nothing. For the rest of the first week and right through the second week, from September 8th all the way to September 18th, the pattern doesn't change. There are plenty of offshore and clean wind days, particularly on the mornings of the 8th, 9th, 10th, 12th, 13th, and 14th, but the swell file is just flat. We get a few tiny pulses: 1ft from the North on the 10th, 0.7ft from the SSE on the 11th, and a 0.3ft from the SE on the 13th and 14th, but they're not enough to break a ripple.
Honeymoon Island is a sandbar that rarely breaks, and this forecast really shows why. The wind offers some clean windows, but without any real swell energy (the combined energy never even hits a two-digit number), there is simply nothing to ride.
So, the honest truth? For the entire 16-day window, there are no solid surf options. It's a flat spell. It happens sometimes. Don't bin the board, but I wouldn't be checking the cam until we get a new swell in the forecast.

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.
