The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cookin’ at Horseneck Beach.

To be straight with you, the next 16 days are a tough beat for surfers. The swell is tiny and winds are mostly messy, so there’s no real standout session. The first few days are a write-off. Wednesday the 2nd has a weak 1.0ft SE swell with a 10-second period, but cross-onshore winds make it choppy and poor. Nothing to get excited about.

Thursday the 3rd through to Monday the 8th are all poor surf conditions. Swell heights bounce between 0.7ft and 3ft, but period is short and wind is either cross or cross-on. Even Friday morning the 4th goes glassy, but with only 1ft on offer, it’s flat. A sneaky pulse on Tuesday the 8th afternoon sees 6ft from the SW with a 6-second period and combined energy of 223 (moderate), but fresh cross-shore wind and lumpy chop ruin it. Too choppy for a paddle, maybe more interesting for kite surfing.

Wednesday the 9th morning is the closest we get to a wave. The swell is 3ft from the SSW with a 7-second period, combined energy of 101 (moderate), and light offshore wind keeping it clean. It’s surfable but very ordinary – only a 1 out of 10. After that, it’s back to tiny, poor surf for the rest of the window. The second week has nothing but flat dribble.

The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, at 71°F, but that’s the only highlight.

So, honestly, if you’re desperate, Wednesday the 9th morning is your best bet. Otherwise, it’s a long stretch of poor surf. This area tends to be fairly consistent, so it’ll turn around, but not in this forecast.

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.
