Hey, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down for Horseneck Beach.
The water’s warm—about 72°F, which is nearly 5°F above what’s normal for July. You’ll be comfy in boardshorts or a light top.
But the surf... man, it’s a tough read. The first week is basically flat and junk. Sunday the 5th has tiny 1ft SSW swell with a weak cross-onshore breeze—barely a ripple (combined energy is just 7). Monday the 6th bumps up to 4ft from the SE, but with 19 mph cross-onshore wind and lumpy conditions, it’s a mess. Tuesday the 7th through Saturday the 12th? All poor. Swell stays under 4ft, periods short between 5 and 8 seconds, and the wind rarely cleans up. A couple of mornings are clean but the swell’s too small to ride.
The only real window is Saturday morning, July 11th. Glassy conditions—calm, 3 mph from the NE—and a tiny 2ft S swell with an 8-second period. Combined energy is only 47, so it’s weak, but the surface is perfect. If you’re a beginner wanting to splash around on a soft top, that’s your shot.
After that, more of the same. Sunday the 12th is onshore and tiny. Monday the 13th has offshore wind from the N in the morning, but the swell is only 2ft with a 3-second period—no power. Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th bring the biggest swell of the whole run: 4ft from the SW on Tuesday afternoon (energy 81) and 4ft from the SW on Wednesday (energy 95). But the wind is cross-onshore both days, so it’ll be choppy and poor. That’s as good as it gets, and it’s not good.
No standout sessions in this entire 16-day stretch. For a spot that usually has some consistency, this is a real lull. Could change, 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.
