The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Well, I’ve gotta be straight with you – looking at the next two weeks for Horseneck Beach, it's a bit of a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is coming up empty, with no real surf on offer. Every session is rated as poor surf conditions. We're starting right now with nothing and it’s going to stay that way. We've got a long, dry spell from the very beginning all the way through.
First off, on September 1st, Tuesday, it’s just messy. We’ve got a tiny 1ft swell pushing in from the SSE with a short 7-second period, but the wind is a cross-onshore from the SE at 9 mph. The energy is weak (19), and the whole setup is choppy. It’s the same story through Wednesday and Thursday – small, short-period windswell with cross-shore winds. Not worth paddling out for.
There is a brief moment on Friday, September 4th, early morning where it goes glassy, with an ENE breeze at just 3 mph. That’s clean, but the swell is a pathetic 1.0ft from the SSW. It’s flat, plain and simple. The energy is only 11. That’s a paddle for a bath.
We see a bit of an uptick around the 9th of September, Wednesday morning, where the swell bumps up to 4ft from the SSW, but the period is only 6 seconds. The energy is moderate (110), so there’s some push, but the wind is a moderate cross-onshore from the SSW at 12 mph, making it choppy and lumpy. The quality just isn’t there. It looks more like a kite session than a surf session honestly.
Later on the 12th, Saturday morning, we get another glassy spell with a SSE breeze, but again it’s a tiny 3ft SSW swell with a short period. The energy is weak (38). It looks clean on top, but there's just no power to ride.
The same pattern holds for the rest of the window. There’s one more bump on the 15th, Tuesday morning, with a 3ft SSW swell and moderate energy (105), but the wind is a moderate cross-shore from the SW at 16 mph, giving us a cross-chop.
So, to sum it up: the forecast is a total blank. For this area, a long run of poor quality is more typical than not, but honestly, look at the bigger picture – the swells are small, the periods are short, and the winds are rarely cooperating. Don't hold your breath. The forecasts can change, but for now, store the boards.
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.
