The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a 16-day window, but I gotta be straight with you – the pickings are slim. The whole period looks like a long flat spell, and the first real chance of anything rideable is a solid week away. There’s a gap of almost nothing from now until the 10th of September, with only tiny, weak dribbles.

The first bit of interest pops up around Thursday the 10th of September. The swell starts to show some life, but it’s a messy beast. The wind is sloppy, blowing cross-shore, and the waves are just lumpy. Not what you’d call a good time for a paddle.

The standout in this otherwise quiet window is Horseneck Beach (sandbar). The best bet is on the afternoon of Sunday the 14th of September. We’ve got a solid push of swell from the SSW at 5 ft with a moderate period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (190). The wind is a fresh cross-shore, which will keep things lumpy, a bit of a cross-chop. This is bigger, more powerful wave energy, but it’s not going to be clean. The setup is a beach and sandbar, so with that size and those conditions, it’s looking more interesting for kite surfing than a proper paddle session. For a traditional surfer, the quality just isn't there.

The water temperature is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 71°F.

There’s another bump of energy on Thursday the 18th of September. The morning offers clean conditions with a cross-offshore wind from the N at 9 mph, but the swell is a weak 3 ft from the SSW with a short period of 4 seconds. The energy is weak (37). It’s clean, but the waves will be small and crumbly. Not a standout.

The truth is, this forecast is a tough one. For a beach break like Horseneck, this kind of blank run is more normal for the area. It tends not to stay poor for long, but right now, there’s not much to get excited about. Keep an eye on the charts, but don’t cancel your plans.

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.
