The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’m gonna level with you—this is a tough one to write. We’re looking at a long 16-day window for Horseneck Beach, and honestly, it’s a desert out there. There’s nothing to get excited about. The entire period is a write-off for any kind of quality surfing. We’ve got a solid stretch from now all the way through to the end of the 16 days with absolutely no good options. The wave energy is pathetic—we’re talking readings in the single digits and teens for most of it, like the 36 and 34 we see on Friday the 11th, just weak, wind-swell slop. It’s a tough run.
Friday the 11th starts off with some clean conditions thanks to a light offshore NW breeze in the morning—that’s nice—but the swell is a tiny 2 ft from the SSW with a short, weak 6-second period. It’s just not enough to push any kind of rideable wave. By the afternoon the wind swings cross-shore and it’s even worse.
That theme just continues. Saturday morning the 12th has a pathetic 1 ft of swell with cross-onshore wind. Sunday the 13th brings in heavy rain and a 2 ft swell. The whole first week is a total bust—strong winds, chop, tiny surf. The water temp is about average for this time of year, but who cares when you can’t even paddle out for anything?
There is a tiny flicker of energy on September 26th, a Saturday way out in the second week, when the combined energy hits 110—that’s at least moderate—with a 2 ft swell from the SSE and a 12-second period. But it’s blown out by a fresh 19 mph SW cross-shore wind, making it a lumpy, choppy mess. A long period like 12 seconds at a beach break like Horseneck? That’s going to close out and be straight, not fun. That’s a kite-surfing setup, not a surfing one.
Don’t hold your breath. For now, the beach is flat or blown out. It’s a real bummer, but sometimes this stretch just goes quiet. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s zero to recommend. Hang up your board for a bit.
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.
