Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – lookin’ at Horseneck Beach for the next 16 days, there’s just nothing to get excited about. Not a single decent session in the whole run. I know, it stings. Horseneck is a beginner sandbar that’s usually fairly consistent, but this stretch is a total blank. The water’s running at 72° with a massive 5° anomaly – that’s way warmer than normal for this time of year, feels more like a bath than the ocean. But warm water won’t fix the surf.
We’ve got onshore and cross-shore winds day after day, with small, weak swell. Most days the height barely scrapes 3 ft, and when it does push a bit bigger – like Monday 20 July morning with 4 ft from the S, or that afternoon with 5 ft from the SSW – the wind is straight onshore and the quality is poor. The optimum swell direction is SE, but even when that shows up the wind’s all wrong. Nothing clean, nothing with any punch. For a beginner spot, it’s frustrating because you’d want those small days glassed off, but they’re not. The best you might get is a few clean-ish windows on Tuesday 7 July afternoon (2 ft, NE cross-off) or Saturday 11 July morning (2 ft, NE cross-off), but the swell’s tiny and inconsistent. Not worth paddling out for.
This kind of blank run – weeks with no real surf – is more normal for the area than you’d hope, but that doesn’t make it any easier. Keep an eye on the forecasts; they can shift. Right now, though, leave your board in the car.

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.
