The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the sand. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Horseneck Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – the next 16 days are a total write-off for any decent paddle surfing. The finder is basically a graveyard of score zeros. There's a run of flat, weak, or just plain messy conditions that stretches from the start of the period all the way through to the 10th of August. It’s a long, dry spell. We’re lookin' at a lot of cross-shore and onshore winds, and the swell heights are tiny. For a spot that's a sandbar, we need some proper energy and clean wind, and we just aren't gettin' it.
The only time the energy even comes close to being interesting is around the 5th and 6th of August, when the combined energy bumps up to 119 and 206 (moderate to strong), with swell heights hitting 4 ft to 5 ft from the SSW and S. But the wind is a mess – cross-onshore, choppy, and lumpy. That’s kite-surfing breeze, not surfing wind. The swell is short period too, around 6-8 seconds, so it’s just weak, wind-affected junk. For a beginner break like Horseneck, that 4 ft+ stuff is already getting a bit much on a bad day, and with no clean face, it's just not worth paddling out.
The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no weird anomalies to report there.
So here’s the deal: if you’re lookin' for a wave, you’re not gonna find one worth paddlin' for at Horseneck in this window. The 31st of July morning flirts with a score of 1, with a tiny 2 ft S swell and clean conditions, but it’s a whisper, not a wave. It’s a tough stretch, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, leave the board at home.
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.
