The Lowdown
Alright folks, let's be real about this forecast for Horseneck. It's a rough stretch for surf. The water is 70°, which is about 2° warmer than usual, so that's a small win.
The long and short of it is this: from Wednesday the 9th through to the morning of Saturday the 20th, the surf is just bad. We're talking knee-high slop with onshore winds and no energy. It's the kind of period where the ocean looks like a lake with a ripple on it.
We get one morning, Friday the 11th, where the wind goes offshore from the N, cleaning things up, but the swell is only 2ft with a weak 7-second period. You might see a few rollers, but it’s not worth getting wet for.
The one morning that looks like it could actually produce a wave is Sunday the 20th. A light offshore NNW breeze at 9 mph will have Horseneck (Bristol County, MA) looking clean. The swell comes up to about 4ft from the SSW, with a short 6-second period. The energy is still only moderate, so it won't be a classic, but it's the only time in 16 days where the conditions align to give you a few decent, clean chest-high waves.
After that, it's back to small, onshore slop for the rest of the period. We see a similar bump in size on the 24th, but the wind is all wrong.
So, keep your expectations in check. There's one window on the 20th that's worth a look if you're keen, but otherwise, it's a good time to work on your pop-up in the living room.

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.
