Alright folks, Rusty here with the Horseneck Beach look. Gotta be honest, it’s a pretty bleak stretch of days on the horizon. There’s a big ol’ gap of flat, dirty surf ahead.

Water temp is sitting around 70°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the season – about 2° above average, so not bad if you’re just floating around.

It kicks off flat and stays that way. Thursday afternoon, July 9th, we get a small 4ft swell from the SW, but it’s got a real short, weak 5-second period, and the energy is a measly 58. Wind is howling at 30 km/h from the SW, right cross-onshore. It’s lumpy, choppy, and just no good for surfing.

From Friday the 10th all the way through to the morning of Saturday the 18th, it’s a desert. Wave heights barely scrape between 0.7ft and 4ft, periods are under 7 seconds, and the energy never breaks 100. Winds are all over the shop, but mostly cross or cross-onshore. There’s a clean moment on Sunday morning the 12th with light ENE breezes, but the swell is only 1ft – you’d need a longboard and a lot of patience.

The first real bump comes on the afternoon of Saturday the 18th of July. Swell pushes up to 6ft from the SSW, with a 7-second period. The energy finally gets to a moderate 356, but the wind is 20 km/h from the SW, cross-onshore, making it messy. For the experienced lads, there might be some grunt, but it’ll be rough.

The best chance you’ve got in this whole two-week outlook is Sunday afternoon the 19th. We’ve got a 3ft S swell, 8-second period, 143 energy, and a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NNE at 25 km/h. The waves will be clean, but still pretty average. It’s a sandbar break, so don’t expect a point break gem.

After that, it’s back to tiny surf and onshore slop right through to the 24th.

So the standout is Sunday the 19th afternoon. Clean 3ft S swell with good wind. That’s your shot. For the rest of it, you’re better off checking the forecast again or taking up a different sport. Nothing here is over 6ft, so no danger for beginners, but there’s hardly anything to ride anyway.

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.
