The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Well, I'm looking at the picture for Horseneck Beach over the next 16 days, and I gotta be straight with you—it's a bit of a bummer. The swell just isn't cooperating for any decent waves. The combined energy is weak, barely mustering a whisper, and the surf quality is consistently rated as poor. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, choppy, or wind-affected conditions ahead.
It kicks off with a few hopeful signs, but they don’t deliver. On Saturday, August 29th, the morning offers a light N breeze at 6 mph, which is a clean cross-off wind, but the swell is a tiny 2 ft from the S with a short 7-second period and weak energy. A few small, weak lines. By the afternoon, the wind swings SW and picks up to 12 mph, turning it messy.
That pattern holds through the following week. Sunday and Monday are small and chopped up by cross-shore winds. A minor bump in size appears on Tuesday afternoon, September 1st, with a 4 ft SSW swell, but the wind is a messy cross-shore at 12 mph making it choppy. The energy is still only moderate. We see a similar story on Wednesday, September 2nd—a 3 ft ESE swell with moderate energy, but the cross-shore E wind at 12 mph ruins any potential for clean shape.
After that, the forecast turns into a real desert. From late in that first week through the middle of the second week, we are looking at a flat spell. The mornings on September 4th and 5th have clean, offshore wind, but the swell drops to 1 ft. It's a total lake. The Sunday morning, September 13th, is the only other highlight for wind, with a clean offshore NW breeze at 12 mph, but the swell is a pathetic 2 ft from the SW. The groundswell that pops up briefly on September 9th (moderate energy) is from the SSE, but it’s a short-period, 4-second windswell, and the cross-shore wind makes it impossible to enjoy.
Honestly, there’s no standout session in this outlook. For a spot like Horseneck, this is a normal run of flat conditions. The best you can hope for is a few ankle-biters on the cleanest mornings, but don’t bother rushing down. The setup is so unsurfable for most of it, I’d say the only thing worth watching is the wind for a kite if that's your thing.
Stay patient, folks. It’ll come back around eventually.

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.
