The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and miles.
So, Horseneck Beach – it’s a quiet one. The next couple of weeks are a proper struggle. Tiny swell, and the wind is just plain rude most days. There’s a big gap from now through the end of August with nothing worth paddling for. It’s flat, messy, and ordinary.
The first little sniff of a wave arrives Friday morning, 28 August. We’re looking at 3ft from the south, period of 6 seconds, with a clean cross-offshore breeze out of the northeast. The combined energy is weak at 96, so it’s not much, but that clean face is all we’ve got.
Saturday morning, 29 August, has a glassy moment. Only 2ft from the south, period 7 seconds, with the wind going dead calm from the ENE at 3 mph. Combined energy is low at 46. It’s tiny, but glassy means you might get a glide on a longboard if you’re keen.
Then it’s flat again until Wednesday morning, 2 September. That morning brings 2ft from the south, but the period jumps to 16 seconds – a proper long-period groundswell. The combined energy hits 136, which is moderate for this spot. The wind is a clean cross-off from the northwest. For a sandbar like Horseneck, that long period might make the wave break a bit straight, but it’s the cleanest, most interesting option of the whole run.
The next morning, Thursday 3 September, is the standout. You’ve got 3ft from the SSE, period 15 seconds, with a solid cross-off breeze from the NNE at 15 mph. The combined swell energy is 297 – the highest of the outlook. The water temp is about normal for this time of year. It’s clean, it’s got a bit of push, but it’s still small. Best for a fish or a log.
After that, it’s back to dribble and chop through to the 8th. Honestly, for a beach break with these conditions, it’s looking more like a kite-surfing setup than a paddle one.
Best bets: Friday morning 28 August for the clean surface, or Thursday morning 3 September for the most energy and clean wind. Don’t expect barrels – just small, clean fun.

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.
