The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk straight. It’s Rusty, and I’m looking at the long-range for Horseneck Beach, and it’s a grim picture. For the full sixteen-day window, there’s almost nothing on the table. You’ve got a long dry spell with a few tiny bumps that just aren’t worth paddling out for.
Right now, on the morning of July 29th, it’s light rain with an onshore wind out of the SSE at 12 mph. The swell is a weak 4 ft from the SSE with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a sad 88, and it’s all poor conditions. That’s the vibe.
The only time you’ll see something that’s even ridable is on Thursday, the 30th. In the morning, we get a 3 ft swell from the SSE (8-second period) with a cross-offshore breeze from the NW at 6 mph. Energy climbs to 122, and the water is clean. It’s still very ordinary, but that’s your best look. The afternoon is similar, with a light offshore at 9 mph and a 3 ft swell. That’s it. That’s your window.
After that, from Friday, July 31st all the way to August 13th, it’s a flat, dead zone. Swell heights drop to between 0.6 ft and 2 ft. The energy numbers are in the teens and twenties – absolutely gutless. The wind switches between cross-off, cross-on, and onshore, keeping the surface messy. On the morning of August 7th, you get glassy conditions with no wind, but the swell is only 1.0 ft. Clean, but unrideable. For kite surfers, the constant onshore wind and small waves might offer something, but for a surfer on a paddleboard, this is a complete bust.
The water temp is about normal for this time of year. The only break here is Horseneck Beach, a sandbar that’s fairly consistent, but that doesn’t help when there’s no swell. If you’re really itching, Thursday the 30th is your one and only shot, and it’s a long shot at that. Otherwise, take a break. The ocean has checked out.

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.
