The Lowdown
Horseneck Beach is looking pretty flat for the foreseeable future. Honestly, it’s a grim stretch ahead. We’ve got a long, blank run of almost two weeks before anything even hints at a proper wave. The water temperature feels about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
We start off Friday the 14th to Sunday the 16th with tiny, weak slop. Swell is a pathetic 1ft to 2ft from the SSW, with periods so short (3 to 6 seconds) it’s barely breaking. The combined energy is a paltry 7, which is essentially nothing. Winds are mostly cross-off or cross-on, but with waves this small, it’s a non-event. Saturday morning the 15th is glassy, but with 0.5ft of swell, you’d be floating around on a lake. Don’t bother.
Monday the 17th morning shows a slight pulse: 4ft from the south with a period of 7 seconds, energy up to 138. Still, the wind is cross-shore from the ENE, creating chop, and the conditions are described as poor. The afternoon cleans up a bit with a cross-off from the NNE, dropping to 3ft, but the energy falls off to 82. It’s surfable but very ordinary. Hardly a standout.
From Tuesday the 18th through to Saturday the 29th, it’s a brutal, drawn-out lull. Swell heights barely scrape 2ft to 3ft on the best days, with energy readings mostly in the low double digits (11 to 86). Winds are a constant problem—mostly cross-on or cross-shore from the SSW, SW, or SSE, creating an endless loop of choppy, lumpy, or messy conditions. There’s a couple of clean moments on Thursday the 20th afternoon and the 27th and 28th mornings, with light offshore or glassy winds, but the swell is so tiny (0.5ft to 3ft) that it’s unscorable. On the 23rd, there’s 4ft from the SSW, but the wind is a stiff 19 to 22 mph cross-shore from the SW, making it a total washout. That setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing; a surfer would be wasting their time.
There is no standout day here. Nothing comes close to being good. Honestly, with such a long, consistent period of flatness, this is pretty normal for Horseneck Beach. It tends to go quiet for long stretches. Keep the board in the car, but don’t hold your breath—forecasts can always change, but this one looks dead.

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.

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.
