The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and I gotta tell you, the next sixteen days at Horseneck Beach are lookin' like a long, flat, blown-out walk on the sand. This stretch of coast is in a real funk, and you'll be waiting a while before the ocean shows any sign of life. The first week is a total write-off, with nothing but tiny, sloppy slop and onshore winds. We’re looking at a gap of several days with no surf worth mentioning.
We finally see a glimmer of something on Monday, September 7th. The morning glass-off is a major positive, with the wind dropping to nothing—dead glassy. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the SSW, with a short, weak 6-second period. The combined wave energy is a measly (151), so it's not packing any punch. The water's running a touch warm, about 71°, which is a degree or so above average for this time of year—nothing wild, but a bit noticeable. It's surfable, but very ordinary. If you're desperate and have a log, that Monday morning might give you a few textural bumps, but it's hardly a standout.
Tuesday the 8th sees similar swell size (4ft – 4ft), but the wind swings cross-onshore from the SSW at 12 mph, turning it into a choppy mess. Not worth the paddle.
The next real pulse comes on Friday the 11th, but don't get excited. By the afternoon, we've got a 5ft SSW swell with a 7-second period, and the combined energy jumps to (216). But the wind is a light cross-onshore, creating small wind ripples that'll ruin any chance of a clean face. The conditions are still labelled poor. This would be the biggest surf of the forecast, but it's just not clean.
The best on offer? It's a real low bar. That glassy Monday morning on September 7th is the only time you'll find clean conditions, but with only a 5ft short-period swell and weak energy, it’s for the patient and the optimistic. This is a beach-and-sandbar set-up, and with this much wind and weak swell, it might honestly look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the period. Keep an eye on things, but don't hold your breath.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
