The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, this is a tough stretch for Horseneck Beach. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with nothing worth paddling out for. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn't show up until Thursday the 10th, and even then, it's a messy situation.
The whole first week is a write-off. We've got tiny waves and poor conditions right through from Sunday the 6th to Wednesday the 9th. Swell is barely a whisper, mostly under 2ft, and the wind is all over the place – cross, cross-on, onshore – just junk. You wouldn't bother getting your wettie on.
Finally, on Thursday the 10th, the swell bumps up a bit. The morning sees a 5ft SSW swell with a combined energy reading of (237) – that's moderate energy finally. But the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-shore, making a lumpy chop. The afternoon is a touch better with the wind easing to 16 mph, but still cross-shore and messy. The wave comment says it all: "poor surf conditions". This is one of those days where the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest. It’s not for the faint-hearted, and definitely not for beginners – that 5ft is pushing it for the new crew.
Friday the 11th is a bit of a tease. The morning swell drops to 3ft from the SSW, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the N. It’s "clean" but the waves are only "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". The afternoon goes glassy with a 3ft SSW swell, but the energy is weak at (91). It's the best on offer, but calling it a standout feels wrong. It's just... less bad.
Then we're back to nothing. From Saturday the 12th all the way through to Monday the 21st of September, it’s tiny, weak, and mostly onshore or cross-shore slop. Swell heights barely hit 2ft, and the wind is constantly messing it up. There are a few days with clean conditions from a cross-offshore wind, like the 15th afternoon and 16th, but the swell is absolutely pathetic – 0.3ft to 2ft at best. It's a long gap of nearly two weeks with nothing to get excited about.
So, to be honest, if you're absolutely desperate, maybe have a look at Friday the 11th afternoon for a glassy session on tiny waves. But that’s it. Otherwise, save your gas. This forecast is a dud.
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.
