The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get into it.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Horseneck Beach are looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing happening here. From the start of the record right through to the 21st of August, it’s a real dry spell. The conditions are just a mess of cross-onshore winds and tiny, weak swell. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year, so that's not the issue.
We finally get a tiny glimmer of hope on the 21st of August. The Friday afternoon session is the only thing that even qualifies as surfable. The wind swings around to a light northeasterly, going cross-offshore, which will clean things up nicely. The swell is coming from the SSW at 3 ft, but it’s a short-period, 8-second windswell. The combined energy is only 93 (weak), so don't expect any power. It’s a super small wave, but for a beginner looking for a clean, gentle roll, it's your only real shot. The wind will be light, so it’ll be a smooth paddle, but you'll be sharing it as it can get crowded sometimes.
The rest of the 16-day window is shot. There’s a lot of wind, mostly cross-shore or onshore, and the swell is too small and weak to do anything with. For a beach break like Horseneck, with the wind we’ve got, it’s honestly more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one for most of this period. The 22nd of August morning is a write-off too – light cross-onshore and almost no energy. It’s a tough run, but that’s how it goes sometimes around here.
Stay patient,
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.
