The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Horseneck Beach has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. We're looking at a long, dry spell before anything even remotely rideable shows up.
Right now and for the next week and a half, it’s pretty bleak. The wind is all over the place, mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the swell is tiny. We're talkin' waves mostly under 3 ft, and the swell energy is weak, barely getting out of the double digits (34 at best early on). The water temperature is average for this time of year, so nothin' special to report there.
The biggest issue is the southwest winds that just keep messing up what little bump there is. That Saturday the 29th mornin' looked promising with light northerlies making it clean, but the swell was a pathetic 1 ft – barely a ripple. There's a period from the 1st of September through to the 9th where it’s just poor surf conditions across the board. A proper drought.
The first sign of life finally arrives on Thursday, the 10th of September, in the morning. The swell is still small at 3 ft from the SSW, but the energy bumps up a notch (94) and we get a clean window with light northeast winds. It’s described as surfable but very ordinary. That’s about as good as it gets. It’s a beginner wave if you're desperate, but don’t expect any power.
After that, it fades back into nothing. There’s a brief moment on Friday the 11th with glassy conditions in the morning, but again, the swell is a measly 1 ft. It's a classic case of "no swell to match the clean wind."
For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a bad run. The setup here is a beach break that gets exposed, and with these onshore winds and minimal swell, it’s honestly lookin’ more interesting for a kite than a surfboard for most of this outlook. If you absolutely have to get wet, the best you can hope for is that Thursday the 10th morning. It’s the only real stand-out, and even that is a weak one.
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.
