The Lowdown
Right, folks. Rusty here.
Let's be straight with you: the outlook for Honeymoon Island over the next sixteen days is a real struggle. This sandbar rarely breaks as it is, and the charts are showing next to nothing for the whole run. There's just no swell energy to speak of. It's a tough go for this area, but when it's flat, it's flat.
We kick off on Monday, 7th September, with a tiny 1 ft swell out of the WNW with a short, weak period of 4 seconds. The combined wave energy is in the gutter (4 to 5). On top of that, winds are onshore and gusty, making for poor surf conditions. Not one for the board.
Tuesday the 8th sees a drop to a pathetic 0.7 ft. Morning offers a clean look with an offshore breeze from the east, but there's simply no power behind it.
From Wednesday the 9th right through until the 22nd of September, it's a flat spell. That's a solid two-week gap with zero surfable waves. We see a brief flicker on the morning of Wednesday the 16th, with glassy conditions and a tiny 1.0 ft swell (weak energy of 2), but it's barely a ripple. Then on Tuesday the 22nd, we get clean offshore winds from the east at 12 mph, but with no swell, it’s just a windy, flat ocean.
Truth is, there is no standout session, no hidden gem to get excited about. For this stretch, the setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the persistent wind and lack of any real groundswell. We just have to wait for the next system to breathe some life back into the place.
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.
