The Lowdown
Alright, this is a tough one. Lookin' at Horseneck Beach, for the next 16 days, it's flat as a pancake. For the first week and a half, there's barely a ripple to get excited about. We're lookin' at a massive gap with no real surf to speak of right through until about the middle of the month.
The only time the ocean even bothers to show a pulse is around September 9th. A Wednesday afternoon brings a 4.9ft swell from the southwest, but the wind is a strong onshore breeze from the southwest at 25 mph. The combined energy hits 164 (moderate energy), but that wind is gonna shred it. It'll be a messy, blown-out mess – poor surf conditions all the way. For a beginner spot like Horseneck, anything over 4.9ft is already a bit much, and with that wind, it's a total write-off for us.
The following day, the 10th, cleans up. We get a 4.3ft swell from the south-southwest on Thursday morning with a cross-offshore wind from the west-northwest at 19 mph. The energy is up to 226 (moderate energy), and it looks clean. The swell period is 8 seconds, so it's a bit of a short-period wind swell, nothing too special. It's the only window in the whole 16 days that looks half-decent, but even then it's only a 4.3ft wave on a sandbar, and it's not exactly pumping. The crowds are a "sometimes" thing here, so you might have some company if you're desperate.
Beyond that, it's back to tiny, weak waves under 1.6ft. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing to report there.
Honestly, the whole setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on those windy days. For us, it's a long, dry stretch of small, weak surf. Don't hold your breath.

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.
