The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a flat spell. We’re looking at a 16-day window and there’s not a single recommendation worth paddling out for. The coming days are a write-off for Horseneck Beach, with nothing but small, weak, and messy conditions on the cards.
The water is sitting at 71°, which is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there, but it won’t make up for the lack of waves.
Right from the start, Thursday the 6th through to the end of the period on Friday the 21st, it’s all poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, barely reaching 3ft, and the period is short – only 4 to 7 seconds – so it’s all windswell with no push. The wind is mostly cross-on or cross-shore from the southwest, blowing at 9 to 19 mph, which just chops it up. The combined swell energy is weak, with values like 23, 30, 57, never even cracking 100 – that’s barely a ripple.
There are a few cleaner moments, like the mornings of Wednesday the 12th, Friday the 14th, Saturday the 15th, and Sunday the 16th, where the wind goes light and cross-off or even offshore, but the swell is still only 1ft to 2ft, and those periods are 4 to 6 seconds. It’s clean, but there’s just nothing to ride. On the morning of Thursday the 20th, we get glassy conditions with a 1ft, 3-second period – that’s flat calm, not surf.
The last row on Friday the 21st shows fresh cross-onshore winds at 19 mph with 2ft of junk – no good for a paddle, but with that wind and small, poor quality surf, it might be more interesting for kite surfing than a surfboard.
Horseneck Beach is a beginner-friendly sandbar that is fairly consistent, but in this case, it’s not consistent with quality. The poor conditions are out of our control – forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a blank run. Nothing to get excited about. Stay tuned.
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.
