The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll be honest with you right now – Horseneck Beach is looking pretty flat for a long time. Over this full 16-day window, it’s the same story: lousy surf and barely any energy. The swell just isn’t there, and the wind keeps switching around. This kind of dead run is actually pretty normal for this spot when summer settles in.
From Monday the 10th right through the weekend, forget it. Swell heights are mostly 1 ft to 3 ft, with short periods of 5-7 seconds, and combined swell energy is stuck weak (11 to 85). Winds are onshore, cross-onshore, or just cross, ruining any chance of a decent wave. Tuesday morning the 11th has a little cross-offshore WNW wind at 9 mph with 3 ft SW swell, but the energy is still weak (67) and the waves are just poor.
We finally get a tiny bump on Monday the 17th, with 3 ft SSW swell and an 8-second period, combined energy hitting 127 (moderate). The morning has a cross-offshore NNE breeze at 9 mph, so conditions are clean. But the wave comment still says “poor surf conditions,” so it’s not worth the drive. Tuesday the 18th morning has a 1 ft swell with a 15-second period – that’s a real long-period groundswell – but the energy is only 93 (weak) and the wave comment is just “surfable but very ordinary.” A long-period swell at a beach break like this tends to go straight and won’t give you much.
After that, it’s back to tiny, weak waves for the rest of the second week. Nothing worth highlighting. This is one of those times when you just gotta wait for a new forecast.
Keep watching – it usually doesn’t stay this dead for long.

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.
