Alright lads, Rusty here. We're lookin' at Horseneck Beach for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be honest—it’s a rough stretch. The water's about 70°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's where the good news ends.
We're in for a long, tough spell. From Saturday the 11th of July all the way through to Sunday the 26th of July, it's mostly a bust. The swell is puny, the wind's a pain, and the wave energy is weak. For the first nine days, it's just no good—flat, bumpy, or choppy all the way.
The first bit of hope pops up on Monday the 20th of July. In the morning and especially the afternoon, we get a 5ft swell from the SSW, moving S, with a moderate cross-off breeze. The energy gets up to a moderate 257. The waves will be clean, but it's still just so-so. Not a real standout.
Now, here's the one window that might get you out of bed. Tuesday the 21st of July, first light. The wind goes totally glassy—dead calm out of the ENE—and we've got a 4ft S swell with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is a solid 217. It's not big, but with that glassy surface and some push, it'll be the cleanest, most fun surf of the whole stretch. Small enough for the beginners to paddle out, but nothing to get too hyped about. Crowds can be an issue here sometimes, so you might have some company for those clean waves.
After that Tuesday morning, it fades again. The rest of the week and into the following weekend stays small and messy with onshore winds. Wednesday the 22nd goes glassy again in the afternoon, but it's only 2ft with weak energy at 65. Maybe a knee-high longboard wave.
We get another little bump on Saturday the 25th of July with a 3ft S swell and a clean cross-off breeze in the morning, but it’s just "surfable" again. Nothing special.
Bottom line: there's no killer session in this outlook. Tuesday the 21st morning is the pick of the lot, thanks to the glassy wind, but don't expect much more than a few fun ones.
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.
