The Lowdown
Let’s get real about Horseneck Beach. We’re looking at a blank calendar for the next 16 days. Nothing is showing up that’s going to get me out of bed.
Starting Wednesday the 22nd, we’ve got a 4ft SSW swell, but a stiff 30 km/h cross-onshore wind is ruining it. It’s all lumpy and choppy. The water’s at 69°, which is standard for this time of year.
The only moment that isn’t a total disaster is Thursday the 23rd morning. We get a 4ft S swell with a light cross-offshore NE wind, leaving it clean. The wave comment is “surfable waves but very ordinary”. It’s a weak swell, though. By the afternoon, the onshore wind is back.
After that, it’s a long stretch of nothing. From Friday the 24th all the way to Thursday the 6th of August, the swell shrinks. Wave heights are mostly 1.0ft to 3ft, with short periods of 3 to 8 seconds. The wind is always from the south, onshore or cross-onshore. Even the clean days on the 29th only have a 3ft swell that’s weak and short-period. It’s junk.
There’s a little bump on Sunday the 2nd of August with a 4ft S swell, but the wind is already onshore. It’s not going to line up.
To be honest, this is about as poor as it gets. The sandbar needs clean swell and good wind to hold shape, and we’re getting neither. If you’re into kite surfing with the strong south winds, you’ll have a better time. Otherwise, save the gas.

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.
