The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s gonna be a quiet stretch for Horseneck Beach. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window with waves barely tickling the 1-foot mark, and the quality just isn't there for a proper surf.
Starting from September 12th, it's flat and frustrating. Saturday morning has a glassy 1ft wave from the SSW, but with the combined swell energy sitting at a measly (10), it’s just not moving. The water’s running 72°, which is notably warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a summer holdover. We see a bit of a bump on the 13th, with Sunday afternoon cleaning up under a NNW offshore, but again, the wave height is only 1ft. It’s a tease.
From there, we’re stuck in a rut of poor surf conditions all the way through the 21st. Every session is marked by either tiny swells, choppy onshores, or weak, short-period windswell. The combined energy numbers are almost all in the single digits or low teens, just lifeless.
There’s a flicker of life on September 22nd. Tuesday afternoon shows a slight pulse with 3ft from the ESE and a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy finally breaks into triple digits at (102), so there's some push, but it's a cross-shore mess with moderate chop. Not worth paddling out for.
The best of a bad run looks like it *might* shape up at the end of the month. On the 24th and 25th of September, we see clean conditions thanks to cross-offshore winds, with waves holding around 2ft to 2ft from the SSE. The energy is in the 79-105 range, and the swell period stretches to 10-11 seconds, giving it a better, more lined-up feel. But honestly, for a spot like Horseneck, these are still pretty marginal, fat waves for beginners or a longboard cruise. There’s nothing here to get excited about for a stand-out session, but for a flat spell, the 25th and 26th mornings offer the cleanest chance to get wet.
It’s a tough run. For a beach setup with no real drive, this is more of a kite-surfing kind of window than a paddle-surfing one. Forecasts can change, but right now, don’t hold your breath.
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.
