The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me give you the straight-up on what’s happening at Horseneck Beach.
To be honest, this 16-day window is pretty flat for Horseneck. The sandbar setup needs a bit more push to get going, and for the next week or so the wave heights just aren’t there. The first real pulse of energy doesn’t show up until Thursday the 10th, when a SSW swell pushes in at 5ft. The combined energy from all swells will be moderate, hitting (237) on Thursday morning, but the wind is going to be a fresh cross-shore that will leave things lumpy and a bit of a mess. It’s definitely too small and choppy for a good paddle session before that.
The real standout, if you can call it that, is actually Friday the 11th. A cleaner NNW wind swings in, giving us a cross-off breeze. The swell drops to 3ft, but it’s from the SSW and the combined energy is weak (67-78). The period is around 7 seconds, so it's short-period wind swell, nothing special. But the wind will be offshore on Friday afternoon, which is the cleanest we see. It’s a beginner-friendly size, and the crowds are *sometimes* a problem, so you might have some company. That’s your best shot in the whole run, but it’s still a small, average day.
After that, it’s mostly tiny and clean but under 2ft for days on end. The second week, from the 12th, is all small, clean, cross-off conditions but with barely any wave energy.
So, in short: there’s no proper swell lined up. It’s a poor run. Horseneck is a fairly consistent spot, so a blank stretch like this is a bit of a bummer, but the forecasts can always flip. For now, don't get your hopes up.

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.
