The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: this is a tough one.
Right now, looking at the whole 16-day window, I've got to be honest – there's just nothing to get excited about. The waves are tiny, the wind is usually onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy is flat. The only spot that even gets a mention is Honeymoon Island (United States), a sandbar that *rarely breaks* anyway. It's an inconsistent setup, so a blank run like this is more normal for the area than a disappointment.
The water is sitting at 86°, which is 0.5° warmer than average for this time of year – pretty much normal, nothing to write home about.
We start the period with a real dud. Saturday the 8th has a risk of thunderstorms, a cross-off SSE wind at 9 mph, and no rideable swell. The combined energy is a flat zero. Sunday the 9th through to the end of the first week is the same story: clear skies, light breezes, but absolutely no surf on offer. The odd ripple shows up – like a 0.7 ft from the south on Tuesday the 11th with a period of only 5 seconds, but with a cross-off wind, it's still a no-go. The combined energy on those days is just 2 (weak). By Wednesday the 12th, the wind swings cross-onshore from the NW at 12 mph, making the tiny 1 ft of swell even more of a mess.
The second week doesn't offer any hope either. The mornings of the 15th and 16th have a clean look with light cross-off winds, but the swell is still a pathetic 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft. Monday the 17th morning is glassy, with zero wind, but the swell is a mere 0.7 ft from the south. The combined energy is only 2.
The only faint glimmer, and I mean *faint*, comes right at the end of the outlook. On Friday the 22nd of August, the swell is still tiny – 1 ft to 2 ft – but it's coming from the west, and the combined energy nudges up to 9 (still weak). The wind is onshore, so it won't be clean, but if you're desperate, it's the best of a bad bunch. The following Saturday the 23rd is back to 0.7 ft.
So, there's no stand-out session here. Not one. The best advice I can give is to wait for a better forecast. This coastline is going to be flat and choppy for the foreseeable future. Hang in there.
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.
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.
