Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s on the cards for Horseneck Beach over the next couple of weeks. I’ve gotta be straight with ya – it’s a lean run. We’ve got a solid 16 days of forecast here, but the first real, ridable swell is a long way off. From now, right through until the 15th of July, it’s pretty much all poor surf conditions. That’s a bit of a gap of about 12 days with nothing worth paddling out for. Don’t get your hopes up for the small, short-period slop that shows up before then – it’s all under 3 feet and weak, with most days showing combined wave energy below 100 (weak). The wind is often onshore or crummy cross-shore, so it’s just not gonna be clean.

Now, I’ll tell ya what stands out, and it’s a bit of a long shot as it’s a way off. Let’s talk about Monday the 13th of July. We’ve got a bit of a bump in the afternoon. The swell jumps up to 4 feet from the SSW with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 230 (moderate wave energy), which is the most grunt we see in this whole window. That’s promising, but there’s a catch. The wind is cross-onshore from the SSW at 12 mph, which is going to put a chop on the surface and make it messy. Horseneck Beach is a sandbar setup, so with that short period, it’s going to be a bit lumpy and jumbled. It’s the best of a bad bunch, but it’s really only something for beginners to mess around on, not the sort of day you’d drive a long way for.

I’ll mention the 13th again, the morning before it. The swell is a bit smaller at 3 feet, but the wind is the same cross-onshore mess, so it’s much the same story. Honestly, there’s nothing here that’s a proper standout. The setups look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most days, especially when the wind gets up. It’s a cross-on mess most of the time, and for a sandbar beach break, you need cleaner conditions to make something of the small, weak swell on offer.

That’s the tale of the tape for now. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, you’re better off finding something else to do for the next week and a half. Keep an eye on it, 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.
