The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, same story in feet and miles. I've combed through the whole 16-day window for Horseneck Beach, and I'm telling you, there’s not a single session worth paddling for. Every single record in the forecast says "poor surf conditions" with a score of zero out of ten. So, let’s just be real about it.
The overall picture is flat, choppy, and disappointing. From Monday July 27th all the way to Tuesday August 11th, there’s a complete gap – no surf on offer at any point. The biggest bump we see is 1.4m (about 5 ft), but the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, just tearing the surface up. Sure, there are a couple of cleaner windows with a cross-offshore breeze from the NNE on Friday July 31st and Saturday August 1st, but the swell is tiny at 0.7m to 0.8m (around 2 to 3 ft) with short periods of 8-9 seconds. Combined swell energy is moderate at best (67 to 98). That's knee-high slop, not something you drive for.
Friday August 7th morning looks glassy with a light southeast breeze, but the swell is just 0.7m from the south at a short 6 seconds with combined energy of only 34. You’d be floating on a pond.
Water temp is sitting around 22°C (about 71°F) with a 0.5° anomaly – so pretty normal for the season, but that’s the only thing that’s ordinary around here.
If you’re into kitesurfing, the windier afternoons with 1.1m to 1.4m swell (4 to 5 ft) and 20-25 km/h onshore wind (12-15 mph) might give you some juice. For paddle surfing? Nothing.
Horseneck Beach is a fairly consistent sandbar break, fairly exposed, with a preferred swell from the southeast. But we never get that clean combo. It’s all south and SSE swell with bad wind.
So, stash the board. It doesn’t usually stay this flat for long – forecasts can change – but for now, there’s no surf to chase.
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.
