Alright, it’s Rusty here. Let’s size up the surf at Horseneck Beach for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, mate, I’m looking at a pretty grim stretch. The whole 16-day window is one long flat spell, and there’s not a single standout session in the lot. We’re looking at a solid run of days with no real surf worth paddling out for. The swell just isn’t delivering any energy, and when it does bump up a touch, the wind is usually wrecking any chance of a decent wave.

The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Sunday, July 27th, on the morning. That’s the only time the combined energy creeps into a moderate range at 232 (moderate wave energy). You’ll see a 5ft swell from the SSW, but it’s coming straight onshore with a light SSE breeze. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild there.

But even that morning is a hard sell. The swell is small, the wind is onshore, and it’s a long way out. For the rest of the period, we’re talking minimal swell heights – mostly under 2ft – with cross-shore and cross-onshore winds. The odd morning like Monday July 21st or Thursday July 24th might have a clean look from northerly breezes, but the swell is just too tiny to call it a surf.

Given the weak, poor quality surf and the beach break setup, this is honestly looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s just no push.

Keep the board in the car, but don’t hold your breath. This is a blank run that’s pretty normal for this area when the swell windows are this quiet.

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.
