Table - best surf conditions forecast for Horseneck Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, I’m gonna level with you. This is Horseneck Beach, and it’s a tough stretch ahead. The water is sitting at 71°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze while you’re sitting there waiting.
Look, straight up: the next 16 days are a write-off for any kind of decent surf. There’s nothing that I’d recommend paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the wind is almost always wrong, and the few moments where the wind might clean up, the waves are barely a ripple.
From Sunday July 12th through the whole first week, we’re looking at waves from 1.0ft to maybe 3ft, but the wind is cross, cross-on, or onshore, ruining any chance of a clean face. The combined wave energy is pitiful, barely cracking 50 or 60 (17 to 221) for the whole period. The biggest push comes around Tuesday July 14th afternoon with a 6ft swell from the SW, but it’s getting hammered by a 25 mph cross-shore wind, making it choppy and messy. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle surf.
There’s a brief moment on Friday July 17th where the wind swings offshore from the NW and N, and the conditions are clean. But the swell is only 2ft with a short 6-second period, so you’re on a longboard or a foamie, and even then it’s a struggle. It’s rideable for a beginner session, but nothing to get excited about.
The second week rolls in and it’s more of the same. Tiny waves, onshore or cross-onshore breezes, and the period stays short. The swell never gets above 4ft, and the energy remains low. From around July 20th to the 27th, it’s a flat, choppy mess.
To be honest, there’s no standout day here. Not a single one. This is one of those stretches where the forecast is just a blank run. For Horseneck, that’s not unusual. It can be a fickle spot. I’d say hang the board up for a couple of weeks and check back in. The forecast can always change, but right now, there’s nothing to chase.

A general guide to surfing at Horseneck Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
