Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks down at Horseneck Beach.
Honestly, this is a tough stretch for paddle surfing. There’s a long, dry gap ahead with very little to get excited about. We’re looking at a string of poor surf conditions that runs all the way from the start of the forecast through to mid-July. The only flicker of hope is a really promising window right at the end of the run, on the morning of July 18th. That’s more than a week and a half away, so keep the expectations loose, but it’s the one thing worth circling on the calendar.
Let’s break it down through the week. Friday the 3rd of July, we see a tiny 3ft swell pushing in from the southwest with a short period of 6 seconds. The water is running at 70°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year (an anomaly of 4°). There’s a clean surface early with a W wind at 9 mph, but the wave energy is weak, coming in at 116. It’s surfable but very ordinary. After that, everything flatlines. Saturday the 4th drops to 1ft, Sunday the 5th bottoms out at 0.3ft, and Monday the 6th is a complete washout with rain and a bumpy 19 mph cross-onshore wind. Through the whole next week – from the 7th to the 17th – we barely see a wave over 3ft, and the wind is mostly on it or cross. The crowd situation at Horseneck Beach can be an issue at times, but quite frankly, no one will be out there for this. It’s a beach and sandbar setup, and with these tiny, weak swells and shitty wind angles, this would look more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
Now, for the one true standout. The morning of Saturday, July 18th. That’s the date. We’ve got a healthy 6ft south-southeast swell rolling in with a 7-second period. The combined energy jumps massively to 585, which is the strongest stuff we’ve seen by a country mile. And the wind? A clean cross-off breeze from the west-northwest at just 9 mph. That’s going to groom the sandbanks nicely. For a beginner-friendly break like Horseneck, 6ft is on the steeper side; it might be a bit much for total greenhorns, but for anyone with a few sessions under their belt, this will be fun and punchy. Just keep in mind this is a long-range call – it looks promising, but it’s not locked in yet. The afternoon drops back to a smaller and messier 4ft, so make the most of the morning.
So, in short: a brutal couple of weeks with a single, promising day way out ahead on the 18th. Hang in there.
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.
