The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s on the menu for Horseneck Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's one of those outlooks where you might want to save the petrol money for a while. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and poor winds. The first few days show some swell around 2ft to 3ft from the south, but it’s a short-period windswell with very low wave energy (87 and 84 in the energy readings). The wind is mostly cross or onshore, so it’s going to be choppy and messy right from the start on Thursday, July 30th. There are no standouts here at all.
Friday, July 31st, the swell drops a touch. Saturday, August 1st, sees a little blip in combined energy (157) and a 3ft swell but the wind is cross-onshore which will ruin any chance of a clean wave. After that, the bottom falls out. From Sunday, August 2nd, right through to Sunday, August 9th, we are looking at waist-high slop or smaller. Waves are under 2ft, period is short, energy is low, and the wind remains unfriendly with cross-onshore or onshore conditions. It's not surfable for a good stretch.
There’s a flicker of hope on Saturday morning, August 8th, with a clean, cross-off wind from the northeast and a 3ft, 7-second swell. The combined energy bumps up to 160 around that afternoon. But the wind shifts onshore and it’s still a weak, short-period swell. For a beginner spot like this, it's too inconsistent and too small to get excited about.
The second week continues the trend. The middle of August brings nothing but tiny, knee-high waves with periods of 6 or 7 seconds and poor wind. There are glassy conditions on Tuesday morning, August 11th, and again on Thursday morning, August 13th, but the swell is only 0.7ft. You’d be floating on a lake. The very end of the forecast, August 14th, offers a 3ft swell from the SW but it’s a 4-second period – basically a wind bump with no power, plus cross-onshore wind. It’s a no-go.
Water temperature at the start is 71°F, which is totally normal for this time of year. For the whole 16-day run, there's nothing to recommend.
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.
