The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this stretch of coastline is looking pretty quiet for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got Horseneck Beach as the only spot on the radar, and honestly, the swell and wind just aren’t lining up for a proper surf session.

The water is sitting at 71°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real chance to even think about paddling out comes on Wednesday, August 5th, in the morning. We’ve got a small 3-foot swell pushing in from the south (9-second period), and for the first time we see a clean morning with a light cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is weak (119), so it’s not going to be anything to write home about, but it’ll be the most ridable wave of the entire forecast. The waves will be small and a bit soft, but for a beginner-friendly sandbar like Horseneck, it’s the best of a quiet bunch.

After that morning window, the wind turns back onshore by Wednesday afternoon and stays messy for days. Throughout the rest of the first week and into the second, we’re looking at a long stretch of onshore winds, tiny swell heights mostly under 3 feet, and short-period junk. The conditions are blown out, choppy, and unappealing. There’s a brief moment on Friday, August 14th, where the wind goes offshore in the morning and turns clean in the afternoon, but with just 2 feet of south swell and weak energy (31-34), there’s barely enough wave to push a log.

For the rest of the 16-day outlook, from August 6th right through to August 18th, it’s mostly a write-off. The swell stays small, the wind is almost always cross or cross-onshore, and the wave quality is consistently poor. Even the longer period swell on the 5th isn’t enough to get excited about.

Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, Wednesday morning, August 5th, is your window. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.

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.
