The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a good, hard look at what Horseneck Beach has on offer over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it's a bit of a tough stretch.
We're looking at a long, quiet run here. The first decent opportunity doesn't pop up until Thursday the 23rd of July, and even that's a borderline call. Before that, we've got a blank spell from now through the 22nd with nothing really worth paddling out for. The energy just isn't there, and the wind tends to be messy.
The standout window, and I use that term loosely, is Wednesday the 22nd of July. The swell bumps up to 5ft to 5ft from the S and SSW with a 9-second period, and the combined swell energy is moderate at 363-418. The problem is the wind is howling from the SW at 12-16 mph, putting a nasty cross-chop on it. For a sandbar break like Horseneck, that's going to be a bit of a washing machine. The plan of attack here is Thursday the 23rd of July morning. The swell drops to a clean but small 4ft from the S, but the wind switches to a light NE breeze at 6 mph, giving us a clean cross-offshore condition. It'll be surfable, but very ordinary.
After that, we slide back into tiny, poor surf for days on end. Nothin' with any real push until Monday the 3rd of August, when we see another small spike of 4ft to 4ft. The morning of the 3rd of August looks clean again with a WNW cross-offshore at 9 mph, but the swell is short-period and weak. The afternoon gets chopped up by a 12 mph SW wind.
So, the honest truth for Horseneck Beach: the Thursday the 23rd of July early session is the pick of the bunch. We're talking a light offshore wind and a knee-high + wave. The swell direction from the S is fine, but the size is small. The water temp is running at a pretty standard 70°F, about normal for this time of year and nothing unusual there. This is a spot that *sometimes* gets crowded, but on a small, average Thursday, you might have it to yourself. It's a beginner-friendly break, so that morning is your best bet for a quiet, clean paddle. If the swell ends up being a bit bigger, it's still a beginner-friendly sandbar, so no worries there.
For the rest of the run, it's either too small, too windy, or both. A few of those days with a 12-19 mph SW cross-shore and building swell actually look more interesting for the kite surfers than for us. Keep an eye on that Monday the 3rd of August morning if you're desperate, but don't hold your breath.
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.
