The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Horseneck Beach has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, barren run of small, choppy, or just plain messy conditions before we finally see a glimmer of hope. The first solid recommendation doesn’t hit until Monday, August 3rd, so we’ve got a gap of about a week and a half of nothing worth paddling out for.
The water temp is sitting around 69°F, which is just about bang on average for this time of year, so no wetsuit drama there.
The only real standout in this whole outlook comes on Monday, August 3rd, in the afternoon. That’s when the light finally turns green at Horseneck Beach. We’re looking at a clean 7ft swell coming from the south with an 8-second period. The combined energy jumps up to 535 (moderate), which is the biggest push we’ve seen. The magic here is the glassy wind – that’s a rare treat. The wind is light and variable from the WSW, making for a clean, smooth surface. That said, 7ft is on the bigger side for a beginner spot, so you’ll want to be comfortable out there. The optimum swell direction for this break is SE, and this is coming from the south, so it’s a little off the ideal but still getting in okay.
The next morning, Tuesday, August 4th, is also worth a mention. It’s a bit smaller at 4ft from the SSW with a 9-second period, but the wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE, keeping it clean. The energy is still solid at 308. This is a good follow-up session if you miss the Monday afternoon window.
For the rest of the period, it’s a saga of onshore slop, short-period windswell, and cross-choppy conditions. The northeast winds on Saturday and Sunday, July 25th and 26th, are just making a mess of the tiny 2ft to 2ft swell. With the water being flat and choppy for so long, this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most of those days.
Keep an eye on that Monday, August 3rd afternoon. That’s your window. The forecast is a bit far out, so it’s promising but not locked in yet. For now, save your energy for that one.
Rusty.

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.
