The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next couple of weeks at Horseneck Beach. I’ll be real with you – this is a tough stretch of flat, small, and messy surf. The water is currently sitting at 70°, which is about what we’d expect for this time of year, so nothing weird there.

For the first week, from Saturday the 1st right through to the end of the week, we’re stuck in a rut. Swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, with short, weak periods of 6 to 8 seconds, and the wind is almost always cross-onshore, chopping it up. The combined energy is weak, often in the 50s or 60s, which tells you there’s just no punch. There’s a brief moment on Tuesday morning, the 4th, when the wind goes glassy, but the swell is only 3 ft from the south at 8 seconds – it’s surfable but very ordinary, and the energy is still only moderate (131). That’s the best we get all week, and it’s nothing to write home about. After that, it’s back to poor conditions, with a bit of a bump on Monday afternoon the 3rd with 5 ft, but the wind is fresh cross-onshore, so it’s lumpy and messy.

Then we hit a real gap. From Wednesday the 5th all the way through to Friday the 14th, it’s just day after day of poor surf – tiny waves, weak windswell, and mostly onshore or cross-shore winds. There’s one clean morning on Tuesday the 11th with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is only 2 ft, so it’s barely rideable. The second week is a write-off.

The only standout – and I use that term loosely – is the Tuesday morning on the 4th. It’s the one time the wind goes glassy, so if you’re a beginner or just want to float around on a log, you might get a few 3 ft south swell lines. But honestly, there’s no quality, no power, no real session to aim for. This stretch is more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers, given the consistent onshore wind and small, choppy waves.

So, plain and simple: there’s nothing good on offer in the next 16 days. Horseneck Beach is usually fairly consistent, so this is a rough patch, but it happens. Keep an eye on the forecasts – it won’t stay this way forever.

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.
