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'm looking at the whole 16-day window and it's a tough one. There's not a single day where I'd say "get in the car now." The waves are just too small, the wind is all over the place, and the quality is never really there. We're looking at a long stretch of pretty poor conditions, with only a few moments where it even gets close to being worth a paddle.

Right out of the gate, today, the 14th, we've got a bit of swell at 5 ft, but it's coming from the SSW with a short, weak period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is only 162 (moderate), but the wind is a strong 25 mph cross-shore from the SW, making it a total mess. It's a write-off.

The next few days are just a blur of small, weak swells. Wednesday the 15th looks cleaner with offshore wind, but the wave height is only 2.5 ft to 3 ft. It's clean, but there's just no power. Thursday through to the end of the month is a grim run of tiny waves, mostly under 3 ft, with onshore or cross-shore winds. There's a lot of "poor surf conditions" in the forecast, and I'm not gonna sugarcoat it.

The only glimmer of hope, and I mean a tiny one, is on the morning of Tuesday the 23rd of July. The wind goes light and cross-offshore from the W, which should clean things up. The swell is a small 3 ft from the S with a period of 8 seconds, giving a combined energy of 170 (moderate). The report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," which is about as optimistic as it gets. It's a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, but even then, it's just not going to be great.

For the rest of the run, we see a bit more size on the 22nd with 5 ft to 6.5 ft, but that's accompanied by a fresh, lumpy cross-shore wind. Combined energy hits 1078 (strong) on the afternoon of the 22nd, but with that wind, it's going to be a washing machine. For a beach break like Horseneck, that setup is more interesting for kite surfing than a peaceful paddle out.

The bottom line: there are no standout days here. The water temperature is a touch warmer than normal at 70.5°F, but that's the only good news. Put the board away for a bit, and check back.

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.
