Table - best surf conditions forecast for Horseneck Beach over the next 16 days.
Yo, it's Rusty here. Let's get stuck into what's coming up for Horseneck Beach.
Honestly, looking at the next 16 days, it's a rough stretch for Horseneck. The whole period is littered with "poor surf conditions" labels, so my expectations are on the floor. There's a big gap of nothing to write home about from the start right through to the middle of the month. The water is about 71° right now, which is much warmer than normal for July, but that's just about the only thing going for us.
The first real blip of anything that might get your attention is on the morning of Sunday, July 19th. We've got a clean-looking window with a cross-off wind from the NE at 12 mph. The swell is coming from the south at 5 ft, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate, sitting at (234). It's still not a classic, and the period is a bit short, so it'll be a bit soft and lumpy. But of the whole outlook, it's the only time the conditions line up for a clean paddle. The crowds will be "sometimes" a problem, so expect some company.
Then on Monday, July 20th, the swell size drops a bit, but the energy jumps. The morning sees a 5 ft swell from the south with an 8-second period, and the combined energy hits a strong (470). The wind is light and onshore, so it'll be bumpy, and the afternoon gets worse with a cross-on breeze. It's a case of more energy but less quality. The swell is getting up there, but it's not going to be clean.
The verdict? There is no true standout. The best bet is strictly the morning of Sunday, July 19th, if you're desperate. The rest of the window is a write-off with poor conditions and onshore winds. For a spot that's a sandbar setup, this is a pretty disappointing run. It's a long stretch of time with nothing to get excited about.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, but for now, don't hold your breath.
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.
