Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the same grim story but in feet and miles per hour.
We’re looking at a long, dry spell. There’s a stretch of nearly ten days where there’s nothing at all. The swell just vanishes, and when it tries to show up, the wind ruins it.
From now right through to the 11th of July, forget it. Glassy mornings with zero energy mean it’s flat as a pancake. Afternoons tease you with a tiny 1ft wave from the NW, but with a period of just 3 seconds, it’s only wind chop. No good.
Things try to perk up on Sunday the 12th of July. A weak 1ft swell from the WNW with a 4-second period and wave energy still sitting very low (8). By the afternoon, it’s 2ft from the W with the same short period and combined energy at (8). The problem? A moderate onshore breeze makes it choppy and bumpy. It’s still poor.
Monday the 13th of July is the only real chance you’ve got. We see 3ft from the W, period still short at 5 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to (28). That’s moderate but still weak. The kicker is the 25 mph onshore wind from the WSW. That’ll turn the sandbar at Honeymoon Island into a mess. It’s for the dedicated only. Afternoon is the same. That’s the highlight of the whole 16-day outlook, which says it all.
After that, it’s back to tiny, weak swell with onshore winds until the 18th. The 16th gives you a clean cross-offshore breeze from the SE, but the swell is a pathetic 0.6ft from the W with energy at (2). Definitely not worth the drive.
Honeymoon Island is a sandbar that rarely breaks, and this forecast proves it. The entire period is a blank run, but that’s pretty normal for this area when the weather patterns set in. Forecasts can always change, but until then, keep the board in the car and the wax in the cupboard.
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.
