The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about Horseneck Beach.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty flat and bleak for proper waves. The water is sitting at 71°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only thing going for it.
We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak surf. From Wednesday the 2nd right through to Tuesday the 8th, it's all under 2ft. The combined energy is just a whisper, with readings like 36 and 29, which is barely enough to get excited about. Winds are mostly cross or cross-on, chopping up what little bump there is. The whole period is a write-off.
The first real pulse of energy shows up on Wednesday the 9th. The morning sees a 5ft SSW swell with energy climbing to 138 (moderate), but it's coming with a cross-onshore wind and a short period of 6 seconds, so it'll be lumpy and weak. The afternoon gets a bit more size at 6ft, and energy jumps to 249, but again, it's onshore and messy. This is still “poor surf conditions” – not worth the drive.
Now, Thursday the 10th morning is the one standout in this whole window. The morning brings a clean 5ft SSW swell with a strong energy reading of 416. The wind is a cross-offshore from the WNW at 19 mph, which will clean up the face nicely. That 5ft is a fun size, but it's a bit punchy, so it's better suited for intermediate and above. The period is only 7 seconds, so it's not a groundswell with real power, but the clean conditions will make it the best wave we've seen in a while. It's a short window of quality, and after that, the swell drops back down.
The rest of the second week fades back into small, weak swell with energy readings dropping back into the double digits. Nothing else is worth planning around.
To sum it up: if you're desperate, the morning of Thursday the 10th is your only real shot at a clean, rideable wave. Everything else is a flat spell broken only by a few days of bumpy, weak windswell.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Horseneck Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
