The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days at Horseneck Beach are lookin’ pretty grim. We’ve got a real dry spell on our hands. The whole forecast window is a bust, no two ways about it. From now through to the end of the period on the 17th of August, there isn't a single day offering anything worth paddling out for. Every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. That’s a solid two-plus weeks of nothing.

The water’s a bit colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 68°F.

We do see a pulse of size come through. On Monday the 3rd of August, the swell bumps up to 7ft to 7ft from the S-SSW, with a combined energy of 434 to 588 (moderate wave energy). That’s a decent amount of water, but it’s absolutely ruined by a strong, cross-onshore wind howling at 18 to 25 mph and rain showers. It’s a messy, blown-out nightmare. The period is short, only 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s just a windswell chop. That kind of setup with the wind and size makes it look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Thursday the 6th and Monday the 10th of August see a bit of energy, around 4ft to 5ft, but the wind is always cross-onshore or cross, keeping it lumpy and choppy. No quality, no rhythm.

The only glimmer of something clean comes on Tuesday the 11th of August. The wind swings to a light offshore from the NNW at 12 mph, and then a clean cross-offshore from the NW at 6 mph. The swell is tiny, though – just 3ft from the SSW with a short 7-second period and a combined energy of only 66 to 67 (weak). It’s clean, but there’s virtually no power behind it. The next day, Wednesday the 12th, is glassy in the morning, but the swell drops to a pathetic 2ft.

Honestly, there’s nothing to recommend here. It’s a blank run for the beach. Keep the board in the car for a trip elsewhere, or just wait for a better forecast. When it’s this flat and messy for so long, it tends not to stay this poor forever, but for now, that’s the hand we’ve been dealt.

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.
