Horseneck Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s be straight with you. Looking at Horseneck Beach over the next couple of weeks, and it’s a slow grind. We’ve got a big chunk of nothing to start, so don't get your hopes up.

We’re looking at a real dry spell, with no surf worth paddling out for until around the 25th. That’s about a week of flatness and blown-out dribble. Water temp is where it should be for this time of year. It’s just a dead period for the beach.

If you’re itching, the 25th is your only real shot. Tuesday the 25th (Horseneck Beach) sees the first bit of rideable swell – about 4ft of southwest swell with a 7-second period. The energy is moderate, with a combined value around 111-118. The key here is the wind: it’s dead glass all day. It’s small, but it’ll be clean. The sandbar is fairly consistent, so you might snag a few. This is the pick of the litter, but it's not breaking any records.

Beyond that, it’s back to the usual summer nonsense. The 26th brings a long-period swell, but it’s tiny and chopped up by a moderate east-southeast breeze. A total non-event. The 27th is a stormy mess with onshore winds and rain. Forget it.

The 28th has some size – Friday the 28th could push 5ft in the morning and up to 7ft by the afternoon. But it’s short-period and cross-onshore. That’s a recipe for a bumpy, closed-out mess. It’s not a beginner wave at that size, and with the wind, it’s strictly for the crew who don't mind getting worked. The energy is strong, hitting 694 in the afternoon, but it will be poor quality.

The rest of the period into September drops off into small, insignificant surf. Nothing else on the horizon.

So, one day to look at, and that’s the 25th. Small but clean. The rest is a bit of a write-off. This is just what a normal summer flat spell looks like around here.
