The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch for Horseneck Beach. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for anything decent. There’s not a single day where the surf quality and conditions line up to give us a proper session. The first few days are a total loss. We’re looking at tiny, weak swell and messy wind. The water temperature is sitting at 71°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only positive.
We do get a little bump in energy around the 19th of July, with the swell height pushing up to 5 ft and a period of 8 seconds from the SSW. The combined energy hits 270 (moderate), and the wind is clean offshore from the NW. But even then, the wave comment says “poor surf conditions,” so it’s not coming together. The following days, from the 20th to the 23rd, the swell sits around 3 ft to 4 ft, with periods up to 9 seconds, but the wind is cross or cross-onshore, making it choppy and uninviting.
After that, through the end of July and into the start of August, the swell drops right back down to 1 ft to 3 ft. The energy is weak (values under 100), and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore. There’s a brief moment on the 28th of July where the wind goes glassy, but the swell is only 1 ft – not enough to push a paddleboard. The 26th and 27th of July have some clean offshore wind, but the swell is still tiny.
So, what’s the best on offer? It’s a tough call, but if you’re desperate, Sunday the 19th of July morning has the biggest swell at 5 ft and clean offshore wind, but it’s still rated as poor. That’s really the only standout, and it’s not saying much. For a beginner, that 5 ft might be a bit much, and the quality is just not there. Don’t get your hopes up.
Signing off,
Rusty

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.
