The Lowdown
Alright, so Horseneck Beach is the only spot in the mix. It’s a sandbar break, beginner-friendly, and fairly consistent. Water temp is 71°F, which is about average for this time of year.
These first few days are a real bummer. Monday the 27th of July is flat, with a tiny 1ft SE swell going glassy, but the report says it’s poor. The energy is a weak 8. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-on breeze. Tuesday the 28th isn’t any better. We’ve got a 2ft swell but onshore wind at 20 km/h. The energy is only 52. Poor surf all day.
Wednesday the 29th of July is the first glimmer of hope. The morning has some rain and a 5ft swell, but it’s short period, 6 seconds, and the energy jumps to 184 (moderate). It’s still onshore though. Then Wednesday afternoon, the wind swings to the WSW, goes glassy, and the swell drops to 4ft from the S at 7 seconds. The energy is a solid 315 (moderate). The wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s our one standout. It’s small enough for a beginner, and with glassy conditions, it’ll be clean. The afternoon is the best of the whole 16 days.
Thursday the 30th is a letdown. A 3ft S swell, 8 second period, but the wind is light and cross-shore in the morning, and cross-off in the afternoon. The energy is 190 then 128. The comment says “surfable but very ordinary.” Friday the 31st and Saturday the 1st of August are similar. Small, clean in the morning, but nothing to write home about. Saturday morning the 1st of August has a 3ft S swell at 10 seconds with glassy conditions, energy of 121. It’s rideable, but ordinary.
Then we hit a long dry spell. From Sunday the 2nd of August all the way through Sunday the 9th of August, it’s poor surf. Onshore winds, small swell, low energy. The 3rd of August has a 5ft S swell, but it’s cross-on and the energy is 420 (strong). The wind is messy, and the comment says “marginal.” That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session. The 4th of August has a glassy morning with 3ft S swell, 8 seconds, but the energy is only 130. It’s surfable but nothing special.
The 10th and 11th of August bring clean conditions with cross-off winds from the NE, but the swell is small and weak. A 3ft to 3ft SSW swell, but the period is only 6 seconds, and the energy is in the 30-70 range. The waves will be weak and lacking punch.
So the honest truth is, this 16-day window is mostly a washout for Horseneck Beach. The only real standout is Wednesday afternoon, the 29th of July. Glassy, clean, 4ft S swell, and decent energy. If you paddle out then, you’ll have the best of a bad lot. The rest of the run is a waiting game.

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.
