The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Horseneck Beach has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, straight up, the outlook for Horseneck Beach is a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of real small, weak surf. The first week and a half or so is pretty much a write-off for anyone hoping to get a proper wave. The swell energy is just too low, and most of the time the wind is in a bad spot. You’ll see a lot of days with just 1ft to 2ft of weak, short-period swell, and the combined energy is often in the double digits, like 15 (weak energy) or 37 (weak energy). That’s not enough to push a surfer around.
The saving grace, if you can call it that, comes around Thursday, July 30th. We finally see a bit of a pulse. The morning shows a 3ft swell from the S, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 149 (moderate wave energy). What makes this stand out is the wind; it's a clean offshore from the NW at 12 mph. For a spot that’s been getting hammered by onshore and cross-shore breezes, this is a welcome change. The afternoon cleans up too, with a cross-offshore wind and a 3ft S swell at 9 seconds and 164 (moderate wave energy). For a beach break, that period is just okay, but the clean conditions will be the main draw.
Looking further out, the first week of August doesn't offer much improvement. The surf stays tiny, mostly under 3ft, and the wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy. There’s a brief moment on the morning of Monday, August 4th, with a clean cross-offshore from the NE at 6 mph and a 2ft S swell, but it’s still small. The swell energy is only 61 (weak energy). Not exactly firing.
Honestly, the only real standout in this whole 16-day window is the morning of Thursday, July 30th, with the 3ft S swell and that clean offshore wind. That’s your best bet. If you miss that, you're waiting a long time. Thursday afternoon, July 30th, is also decent with clean conditions. The rest is a lesson in patience.
Horseneck is a beginner-friendly sandbar and is fairly consistent, but it needs some size to get going. This run is a blank one, but the forecasts can always change. For now, mark your calendar for the 30th.
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.
