The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: Horseneck Beach is not firing. The whole 16-day window is a bust for surf. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing worth paddling out for.
First up, Thursday the 10th, there’s a bit of swell around 4ft from the SSW, period a short 7 seconds. Combined energy is 163 – moderate – but the wind is a cross-shore 12 mph, making a mess. It’s a beginner-friendly sandbar, but the conditions are poor. On Friday the 11th, the swell drops to 2ft. The morning looks clean with a light offshore from the NW at just 6 mph, but the waves are tiny, barely a ripple. The water is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year at 70°.
From there, it’s a wasteland. Saturday the 12th through to the end of the outlook on September 25th, the swell height never really gets above 3ft, and most days it’s ankle-deep at 0.3ft to 1ft. Winds are mostly onshore, cross-on, or cross-off, but there’s just no energy. The combined swell energy dips into single digits or low double digits most days – weak stuff. There’s a little blip on Sunday the 20th afternoon when the swell hits 3ft from the south, period 5 seconds, but the wind is a moderate cross-onshore 12 mph, making it choppy. Not worth it.
What’s frustrating is we get some glassy conditions – Saturday morning the 19th, for instance, with the wind dead calm – but the swell is 0.3ft. Clean, but you could surf in a bathtub. There’s also a few clean cross-off days, like Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd, but again, no swell.
This is one of those blank runs where the area just goes quiet. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about. For paddle surfing, it’s a no-go. If you had a kite, you might find a session on the 20th with that 3ft swell and cross-onshore wind, but for a surfboard, leave it at home.
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.
