The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, and I'm telling you straight: it's a rough 16-day stretch for the area. There’s a quiet spell with nothing worth paddling out for until the morning of the 19th. The water's about average temp for the season—nothing weird there.
The first decent chance comes on Sunday the 19th. We’ve got a 3-foot SSW swell with a light offshore breeze from the NW, keeping it clean. It's a beginner-friendly sandbar that breaks fairly often, but the wave quality is nothing to write home about. The energy is low (94 units), so the waves won't have much kick.
If you want the one day to aim for, it's Thursday morning the 23rd. A 5-foot S swell with a 9-second period, light cross-offshore wind from the NE, and moderate energy (341 units). That's the cleanest, most surfable window in the whole forecast. The surface will be glassy, and the waves will have decent shape. You might find a few other folks out, but that's your best bet.
The rest of the time? It's mostly tiny, weak swell with choppy onshore wind. A big surge hits on Wednesday the 22nd with an 8-foot SSW swell and massive energy (1218 units), but the wind is a strong cross-shore at 22 mph, ruining it. That setup is better for kite surfers than paddle surfers. After the 23rd, the swell fades fast, and the wind stays messy right through to the end. A small bump rolls in on the 31st with 3 to 4-foot SSE swell, but again, the wind is cross-shore, and the quality just isn't there.
Get on that Thursday the 23rd. It's your only real window.
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.
