The Lowdown
Alright Rusty here, let’s break down the next sixteen days.
Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak outlook. There’s a big stretch of nothing to start. The first real chance of a wave doesn’t come until Thursday September 10th, and even then it’s a mixed bag. Before that, it’s flat, choppy, or just tiny. The water’s a bit warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting around 71°F, but that’s about the only thing that’s unusual.
The only real window is on Thursday the 10th. The morning brings a cross-shore breeze and a south-southwest swell around 4ft, with a 8-second period. The energy is moderate at 171. It’s messy, but the afternoon is the best of a bad lot. The swell pushes to 4ft from the same direction, and the energy climbs to 232. The wind is still cross-shore, so it’s not glassy, but there’s some size. For a beginner-friendly spot like Horseneck, that 4ft is about the top of the fun zone. It’s a bit much for total beginners (anything over 5ft gets sketchy), but it’s the biggest we’ll see.
After that, it dies off. Friday the 11th has a smaller 2ft south-southwest swell with a clean cross-offshore wind in the morning, but the energy is weak at 38. The rest is tiny, except for Tuesday September 15th when a 3ft south-southwest swell meets a clean offshore wind from the north-northwest. That’s a clean setup, but the swell is short-period (5 seconds) and weak at 48, so it’ll be weak and lumpy.
The one to circle is Thursday the 10th afternoon. It’s the only time we get a decent amount of energy and a head-high-plus swell. It’s not pretty, but it’s the best on offer. Crowds are possible here, so don’t be surprised if a few others are out.
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.
