The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Horseneck Beach.
Alright, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day run is a tough one. We’re lookin’ at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The first decent chance doesn’t show up until Wednesday, the 2nd of September, which is over a week away. That’s a big gap of flat, choppy, or just plain messy conditions.
The standout, and really the only window to get excited about, is the morning of Wednesday, the 2nd of September. We’ll see a clean 4ft swell coming from the SSW, with a period of 6 seconds. It’s not a groundswell, but it’s got enough push to create some fun little waves. The combined energy is moderate (119), and the wind is light and offshore out of the west, so the surface will be clean. It’s a beginner-friendly spot to begin with, so this is about as good as it gets for that beach break. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit just yet.
Before that, we’ve got nothing but “poor surf conditions” day after day. A few afternoons in the last week of August show a clean-looking cross-offshore wind, but the swell is just too small – we’re talkin’ knee-high at best. The 27th and 28th of August have a bit more energy in the water (159 on the 27th, 237 on the 28th) with a 3ft to 4ft S swell, but the period is short and the wind is a strong 18-19 mph. It’s clean, but for a beach break, that’s gonna be a blown-out mess of whitewater. Honestly, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, there you have it. A long wait for a small window of fun on the 2nd of September. Things can change, but for now, sharpen your sticks and wait for that morning glass.
Rusty.

Information about the Horseneck Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Horseneck Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Horseneck Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Horseneck Beach 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 (Horseneck Beach) 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 Horseneck Beach 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.
