The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase – this is a rough stretch for the next 16 days. The surf is almost non-existent and the conditions are ugly. It’s one of those times you might be better off waxing the board for the sake of it.

For Horseneck Beach, we’re looking at a long, frustrating gap. From now through the 18th of July, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The energy is low, the wind is mostly onshore, and the swell is weak and short-period. It’s a total washout.

The first real chance comes on Sunday the 19th of July. The morning sees a modest 3ft swell from the SSW, with a clean cross-off breeze from the W. The combined energy is moderate (153). It’s not big, but it’s the cleanest window we’ve seen. The water is a touch warmer than normal, sitting at 71°F for the time of year. The afternoon gets even lighter, with a WSW breeze and a slightly bigger 4ft swell, though the period is still short. It’s the best on offer, but it’s still borderline.

Then we get another gap. Monday the 20th of July picks up a bit more energy, with a 4ft swell from the S and a period of 9 seconds, but the wind is onshore or cross-on, and the conditions are choppy. The energy is moderate to strong (198 in the morning, 301 in the afternoon), but the quality is poor. This pattern continues into Tuesday the 21st – stronger swell (5ft) but with a fresh cross-onshore breeze making it lumpy. Not good for a paddle board.

The only standout window in the whole 16 days is Wednesday the 22nd of July. The morning has a 5ft swell from the SSW with a 9-second period, and a clean cross-off wind from the west. The combined energy is strong (355). It’s the biggest, cleanest swell of the whole period. The afternoon is still decent with a cross-shore breeze. This is your best bet, but it’s still a week away and the forecast is uncertain. It’s a long-range promise, not a guarantee.

After that, it’s back to the same story. From Thursday the 23rd all the way through to Tuesday the 30th of July, the swell drops back below 3ft, the wind is mostly onshore or sea-breezy, and the energy is weak. There are a few moments where the wind goes offshore, like on the 26th and 28th, but the swell is tiny (2ft to 3ft) and the period is short. It’s just not enough to get excited about. On the 28th, Tuesday afternoon, we get a glassy 3ft swell with a 9-second period, but the energy is moderate (162) and the conditions are “ordinary.” It’s surfable, but barely.

Overall, it’s a grim run. The surf is poor, the wind is mostly wrong, and the consistency is low. If you’re a kite surfer, some of those windy, choppy days might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a long wait for a very small window. The one day to circle is Wednesday the 22nd of July, 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.
