The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for Horseneck Beach over the next 16 days is a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions. The water is sitting at 71°, which is a touch warmer than you'd normally expect for this time of year, but that's about the only thing going for it.
The first real chance to even consider a paddle comes on the morning of Tuesday, 2nd September. Even then, it's not great. We've got a tiny 3 ft swell from the ESE, but the period is a short 4 seconds, so it's just wind chop with no real push. The wind is a moderate cross-onshore, making it choppy, and the combined energy is a weak 58. It's not going to be a good session.
The conditions improve a bit on Friday, 4th September. The wind swings to the NW, giving us a light cross-offshore breeze in the morning and a clean offshore by the afternoon. The problem is the swell is still tiny – 2 ft max from the S, with a combined energy of only 22. It's clean, but it's barely surfable.
The best chance in the entire 16-day window happens on the morning of Tuesday, 9th September. We see a pulse of swell from the S, reaching 4 ft with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy finally climbs to a moderate 144, so there's some actual power in the water. The wind is a light cross-onshore, which is tolerable, but it's not glassy. The break is a sandbar, so it's a beginner-friendly setup, but it's also fairly exposed. Still, this is the standout. The waves are rideable, but the onshore wind will keep them a bit lumpy. Crowds are possible at this spot, so getting there early is a good idea.
After that, the swell drops back down into the 2 ft to 2 ft range for the rest of the forecast period, with a mix of cross and cross-offshore winds. The energy is minimal, and the conditions are poor. The last half of the second week, from the 12th onwards, is particularly bleak with tiny, weak swells.
So, to be honest, there's a lot of flat and poor days here. The best bet is Tuesday, 9th September, when the surf is at its most rideable, but even then, it's not a spectacular day. For the rest of the time, you're better off finding another hobby until a new swell shows up.
