The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Horseneck Beach. I gotta be straight with you—this stretch of sand is a beginner-friendly sandbar setup, fairly consistent, but it's about to go through a real lean spell. The water is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 71°, which is a nice bonus for the skin.
The first real chance to get wet doesn’t come until Wednesday, the 15th of July. The morning shows a bit of life with a 5ft swell from the SW, but it’s a short period windswell at 7 seconds. The wind is a cross-offshore breeze, and the waves are described as clean. The combined energy is moderate, around 275 (moderate wave energy). Honestly, it’s marginal, but it’s the best the week has to offer. By Wednesday afternoon, the wind swings offshore from the NNW at 9 mph, dropping the swell a bit to 3ft from the SSW, but it’s clean. Still, very ordinary conditions.
The next little window is Monday, the 20th of July. The morning brings a 4ft S swell with an 8-second period, cross-offshore wind, and clean conditions. Energy at 195. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. Tuesday the 21st morning is similar—3ft from the S, period 8 seconds, light cross-offshore breeze, and clean. Energy at 140. Again, just ordinary.
The long-range stuff into the end of the month is thin. The highlight, if you can call it that, is on Monday the 27th of July. The afternoon session shows a 3ft S swell, period 9 seconds, with glassy conditions as the wind drops to a slight air. Energy is 151 (moderate). It’s surfable, but for a spot known for being fairly consistent, this is a pretty grim run. There are long gaps of several days with no real recommendations—just small, choppy, or cross-onshore junk. The setup is so wind-affected through the period that on some days, with the strong cross-shore winds and lumpy chop, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Stay patient, check the forecast again next week. Things can always change.

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.
