Updates in  hr  min  s Forecast update imminent

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight about Horseneck Beach – we're looking at a long, quiet spell ahead. The whole 16-day window is pretty grim, with nothing that I'd call a proper surf session. There’s a stretch where it just flat-lines, so temper those expectations.

We kick off on Saturday, July 4th, and honestly, it's a no-go. Tiny waves around 2 ft from the SW with a short 5-second period – that's just wind slop. The water is a notable 72°, which is *much warmer* than usual for this time of year. Saturday afternoon gets a little bump to 3 ft, but it's still crossed up and messy with a 12 mph cross-shore wind. Sunday and Monday are a write-off too: light, weak swells under 2 ft and onshore winds turning it into a washing machine. Monday even brings some light rain and a 19 mph ESE wind, making it properly lumpy.

On Tuesday, July 7th, we finally see the only pulse of energy in the whole forecast. The swell jumps to 4 ft from the ESE with a 7-second period, and the combined energy hits 158 – that's moderate and actually the most we'll see. Even better, the wind swings to a cross-offshore NE at 25 mph, keeping the surface clean. But... and it's a big but, the conditions are still described as "poor." The water's going to get churned up by that strong breeze, and 4 ft with a short period on a sandbar beach like Horseneck is not going to produce much shape. It’s really more of a windswell bump for the hardy, not a recommendation for a paddle. It might even be more interesting for kite surfing than a proper surf. Tuesday afternoon drops off fast to 2 ft.

The rest of the week and into the next is a desert. We get clean waves again on Wednesday and Thursday morning, but the swell is tiny – 1 ft to 2 ft from the south with no energy behind it. We're talking about weak combined energy numbers in the 20s and 30s. There's a brief mention of glassy conditions on Wednesday, July 15th, with an early morning calm, but the swell is a pathetic 1.0 ft. From the 10th onwards, it's a 9-day stretch of nothing worth paddling out for.

So there you have it. Horseneck is serving up a big fat zero on the surf front for this period. It’s one of those blank runs that happens here, and with the forecasts this far out, it can change, but for now, leave the board in the car. The only vaguely interesting moment is that Tuesday bump, but it's a long shot for a quality wave. Keep an eye on the charts, but don't hold your breath.

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.
