Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Honeymoon Island.
Honestly, mate, I’m looking at the next 16 days and it’s a tough go. There is no good surf on offer. The whole run is flat with tiny, gutless swell. We’re staring at a real blank period right up to Wednesday the 23rd of July. The energy in the water is practically zero for most of it, barely ticking over with a combined swell energy of just 2-4 early on, and even the best pulse we see late in the run only gets up to a combined energy of 25, which is still weak. The water temp is sitting at 89°F with an anomaly of 5°F, so it’s much warmer than usual for this time of year, which is a bit weird but won’t help the waves.
It all kicks off Wednesday morning the 8th. Glassy conditions with a 0.7ft swell out of the WNW, but the period is a pathetic 4 seconds. There’s simply no push. The wind stays light and glassy on a few mornings, like Thursday the 9th and Tuesday the 14th, but the swell is still tiny—0.7ft and 0.7ft respectively. The morning of Friday the 10th sees a clean 0.7ft from the S with a light offshore ESE wind, but again, it’s barely a ripple.
We get a slight bump on Thursday the 16th morning: a clean 2ft swell from the S with a 5-second period and a cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy hits 21, which is the best we see for a long while, but it’s still not enough to surf properly. The period is too short.
Then again on the 22nd of July, Wednesday afternoon, the swell bumps to 2ft from the W, period 5 seconds, and the combined energy reaches 25. Wind is onshore from the W though, so it’s messy. The following morning, Thursday the 23rd, cleans up with a SSE cross-offshore breeze, but the swell drops back to 1ft.
This spot is a sandbar that rarely breaks, and this forecast proves it. With the swell this small and weak, and the quality consistently rated poor, there’s nothing to get excited about. It’s a long, flat stretch. For a place like this, a blank run is normal. Don’t hold your breath.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
