The Lowdown
Alright, it’s your mate Rusty here. Let me break down this sixteen-day stretch for Honeymoon Island. I gotta tell ya, it’s a flat spell with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The first sign of anything shows up Sunday afternoon, but it’s tiny and sloppy, and from there things just don’t pick up. There’s a gap of several days where the ocean is basically a swimming pool, so dust off the longboard or take a break.
This 13 September Sunday morning is dead flat. By the afternoon we get a tiny 0.2m (less than 1 ft) wobble from the west with a short period of 4 seconds, and the combined wave energy is minimal (1). The wind is a light cross-onshore from the WNW, so it feels bumpy. Not worth the drive.
Moving into Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th, it’s back to zero. Clean winds on Tuesday morning with a gentle offshore from the ENE, but without any swell, it’s just a glassy pond. Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th stay the same – clean cross-offshore breezes, but the ocean is flat.
Friday the 18th offers a tiny 0.2m from the SSE with a 4-second period and combined energy of just 2. Wind sits cross-shore, making it choppy. Still garbage. Saturday the 19th morning finally hands us a clean window with a light offshore from the east, and a small 0.3m (about 1 ft) from the south (period 4 seconds, combined energy of 4). It’s the best of a bad lot – ankle-slapper territory. Crowds are possible here, but with waves this tiny, you’ll have the place to yourself.
The rest into the last week of September is more of the same: tiny waves, short periods, mostly onshore or cross-shore winds. The week of the 21st sees flat days again, with only a 0.3m SSE bump on Tuesday the 22nd morning, but it’s cross-shore and weak.
For a standout? There ain’t one. The whole period is a washout. No meaningful swell ever arrives. Water temp is a touch warmer than usual at 31°C (about 87°F), but that doesn’t help the waves.
If you’re really keen, the cleanest little moment is Saturday 19 September morning – a tiny 0.3m S swell with light offshore wind. But don’t expect much.
That’s the raw truth for Honeymoon Island. Nothing on the cards for the next 16 days.

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.
Honeymoon Island is 9 km (6 miles) from Palm Harbor. If you plan a vacation in Gulf Coast, Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Palm Harbor. Palm Harbor has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
