The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the surf situation for Horseneck Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest – it’s a grim run. There’s nothing worth paddling out for. The entire 16-day window is a flat spell or close to it, with no real swell to speak of. From September 13th right through to September 28th, every session is rated as poor surf conditions. The combined swell energy barely gets going, with the highest reading just 93 on the afternoon of the 22nd, which is still weak (93). Most days it’s down in the single digits or low teens. It’s a long, quiet stretch.
The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 71°F on the 13th, with an anomaly of 3°F – so a bit of extra warmth, but you’ll be floating on it more than riding it.
Now, Horseneck Beach is a sandbar setup, fairly exposed to swell from the SE, which is the optimum direction. But the swell heights never crack 3ft – mostly a piddly 0.3ft to 1ft – and periods are short, under 8 seconds most of the time. Winds are often cross-off or offshore, especially on the 14th and 20th, which would clean things up, but there’s no wave to clean. A couple of afternoons like the 17th and 23rd have glassy conditions with near-calm winds, but again, flat as a tack.
If you’re a beginner, there’s nothing to learn on. For anyone else, it’s a no-go. The break is fairly consistent, but when there’s nothing to work with, it doesn’t matter. The only thing that might catch your eye is the 27th and 28th of September, with a tiny bump of 2ft to 3ft from the SW, periods of 4–5 seconds, and clean offshore winds. But that’s still weak energy (22 to 48) and won’t produce a rideable wave. For kite surfers, the stronger winds on the 20th and 23rd might offer something, but for paddle surfing, leave the board at home.
So, no standouts, no hidden gems. Just a flat, quiet outlook. Sometimes the ocean gives you nothing, and this is one of those times. Keep an eye on the forecasts – things can change.

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.
