Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – this stretch is a tough one. We’re looking at a real quiet period ahead for Horseneck Beach. The sandbar setup needs a lot more love from the ocean than what’s coming our way, and for the first several days, there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. The wind is mostly cross or cross-on, and the swell is just too small and weak to get any kind of shape going. It’s a bit of a blank run, which is pretty normal for this area in a lull like this.
We don’t even get a solid recommendation until the second week. The first real chance to wet a line comes up on Tuesday morning, July 21st. We’ve got a bit of a bump from the south at 3ft, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind will be light onshore, so it’s not going to be clean, but the combined energy is moderate (146). It’s not a standout, just a possible session if you’re desperate.
The closest thing to a highlight in this whole 16-day window is actually Wednesday afternoon, July 22nd. The swell picks up a bit from the south at 5ft, with that same 8-second period. The energy jumps up strong (429), which is the most we’ll see. But the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, so it’ll be choppy and messy. For a beginner spot like Horseneck, the size is still manageable, but the quality won’t be there for a great ride.
After that, we get a little pulse on Thursday afternoon, July 23rd, with a 3ft south-southwest swell and moderate energy (260), but again, the wind is cross-shore, creating chop. Friday afternoon, July 24th, brings a similar story: 4ft from the south-southwest, strong energy (343), but a moderate cross-onshore wind making it lumpy. It’s the same theme – there’s some size, but the wind is working against us.
Honestly, if you’re a kite surfer, the afternoons around the 22nd and 24th might look more interesting with that cross-shore wind and some push in the water. For a paddle surfer, this is a tough outlook. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, but that doesn’t make the waves any better.
Keep your eyes on the forecasts, though. It tends not to stay this poor for long around here, and a change in the wind can turn a 3ft day into something fun. For now, I’d say give it a miss.
Rusty.

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.
