The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on offer at Horseneck Beach.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are looking pretty quiet. There's a real long stretch of nothing much happening. The only break we've got to look at is Horseneck Beach, a sandbar setup that's good for beginners when it's working, but it's fairly consistent. The optimum swell direction is from the SE, but we just don't have any decent swell lining up.
The first few days, from August 2nd right through to the 10th, it's a write-off. We're looking at tiny waves, mostly under 3 ft, coming from the south and southwest with short periods under 8 seconds. The wind is a constant problem too, mostly cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. The combined energy is weak, sometimes barely registering. It's poor surf for a solid week, no way around it.
There's a tiny glimmer on the morning of August 8th. The ENE wind goes to glass, zero wind, and the water will be flat calm. The swell is still tiny at 2 ft from the SSW with a short period of 6 seconds. It's a slow, weak wave, but for total beginners or a longboard cruise, it's the only clean option in the whole run. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so a spring suit is fine.
Then we drop right back into a lull from August 9th through the 14th. More tiny waves, more choppy wind. The morning of the 12th and the 14th are glassy again, but the swell drops to 2 ft or even 0.7 ft. It's barely there.
The last couple of days, the 15th and 16th of August, the wind turns clean from the NNE and NE, but the swell is still small and weak—around 3 ft to 4 ft from the SSW with a period of 5 to 6 seconds. The combined energy is still weak. It's clean, but it's not proper surf. If you're desperate for a small, clean push, the 15th afternoon or 16th morning might be your best bet, but it's not a standout.
So, the honest truth is there's no real standout session here. The best of a bad bunch is the glassy morning of August 8th for the absolute cleanest conditions, but the swell is tiny. If you're looking for real waves, you might be better off looking at a kite on those windy afternoons. The run of poor conditions is long, but with a spot that's fairly consistent, it won't stay this way forever.
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.
