The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a 16-day window, but I gotta be straight with you – the pickings are slim. The whole period looks like a long flat spell, and the first real chance of anything rideable is a solid week away. There’s a gap of almost nothing from now until the 10th of September, with only tiny, weak dribbles.
The first bit of interest pops up around Thursday the 10th of September. The swell starts to show some life, but it’s a messy beast. The wind is sloppy, blowing cross-shore, and the waves are just lumpy. Not what you’d call a good time for a paddle.
The standout in this otherwise quiet window is Horseneck Beach (sandbar). The best bet is on the afternoon of Sunday the 14th of September. We’ve got a solid push of swell from the SSW at 5 ft with a moderate period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (190). The wind is a fresh cross-shore, which will keep things lumpy, a bit of a cross-chop. This is bigger, more powerful wave energy, but it’s not going to be clean. The setup is a beach and sandbar, so with that size and those conditions, it’s looking more interesting for kite surfing than a proper paddle session. For a traditional surfer, the quality just isn't there.
The water temperature is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 71°F.
There’s another bump of energy on Thursday the 18th of September. The morning offers clean conditions with a cross-offshore wind from the N at 9 mph, but the swell is a weak 3 ft from the SSW with a short period of 4 seconds. The energy is weak (37). It’s clean, but the waves will be small and crumbly. Not a standout.
The truth is, this forecast is a tough one. For a beach break like Horseneck, this kind of blank run is more normal for the area. It tends not to stay poor for long, but right now, there’s not much to get excited about. Keep an eye on the charts, but don’t cancel your plans.
Rusty.
