The Lowdown

Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for Horseneck Beach. I’ve looked at the next 16 days and, well, I’ll be honest with you – it’s a tough stretch. There’s a big ol’ gap of nothing happening for the first week and a half, so don’t be rushing to grab your board just yet.

We’re looking at a solid 8-day gap with no real surf to speak of. From Tuesday the 8th right through to the 18th, it’s mostly poor surf conditions. The combined swell energy is tiny, mostly under 100 (just 8 on Tuesday afternoon), and the wind is almost always on it or cross-shore. You’ll get a few glassy moments on Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th mornings, but the swell is barely a ripple at 2ft and 1ft respectively. Not worth the paddle.

The only true standout I can see in this whole window is Saturday the 19th, and even then it’s a late call. The water temp is about normal for this time of year, sitting at 70°F.

Now, let’s talk about the one day that might give you a little stoke. On Saturday the 19th of September in the afternoon, we finally get a sniff of something. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the SSW, with a period of 6 seconds. That’s a short-period, windswell, but it’s got some energy behind it (combined energy of 85). The real kicker? The wind shifts to a light offshore from the NNW at 9 mph, making for clean conditions. The water is still warm enough for a shorty. It’s not going to be a world-class session, but it’s the only time in the whole forecast that the conditions are surfable. It’s an inconsistent spot, so don’t expect a long ride, but for a beginner-friendly sandbar, it’s a decent little window.

After that, it’s back to tiny, choppy dribble for the rest of the run. The last day of the forecast, Tuesday the 22nd, sees a bit of a spike in energy (183) with 4ft from the ESE, but the wind is a messy cross-onshore, so it’ll be a write-off.

So, there you have it. One afternoon to circle on the calendar for some clean, small waves. The rest of the time, you’re better off taking the dog for a walk on the beach.

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.
