The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Horseneck Beach. I gotta be straight with you – this stretch of the next 16 days is a tough one. We’ve got a blank run for the entire forecast period, with no surf worth paddling out for. The pattern is stubborn: we’re looking at weak, short-period windswell that barely gets its act together, and when it does, the wind is usually in the wrong spot.
The first real chance we see anything is on the 21st of August. It’s a long way off, so keep your expectations in check. For the Friday morning and afternoon, there’s a pulse of swell from the SSW at 3 ft to 4 ft, with a period of just 5 seconds. That’s a short-period, onshore-flowing swell, so it’ll be sloppy. The saving grace is the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the N at 9-12 mph. That’ll keep the surface tidy. The combined wave energy is weak though, hitting just 80 (on the 21st afternoon). It’s not a standout, but if you’re desperate, it’s the best we’ll see. Expect a few close-out sections, but it’s rideable for the beginners who this spot is suited for. The water temp is about 72°F, which is normal for the time of year, so no wetsuit worries.
Before that, the 14th of August gives you a brief moment of glassy conditions on the Friday morning – wind from the SSE at just 3 mph, making it glassy. But the swell is a pathetic 2 ft with a 5-second period. The energy is a measly 18. It’s flat, essentially. Not worth the drive.
The rest of the window is a write-off. We’ve got a solid gap from now until the 14th with no recommendations, and then another gap until the 21st. The 17th brings a 0.7 ft wave with a 14-second period – that’s all period and no power. The 22nd fades back out. For a beach break like Horseneck, the long-period swells (like that 14-second one) tend to just break too straight unless you’re on a sandbar that lines up perfectly, which is rare here.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most days, given the cross-onshore chop and weak swell. Hang tight, the forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a drought.
