The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. The next 16 days look like a real quiet spell for Horseneck Beach. I've got to be honest, there's not a single standout session in the whole run. The forecast is a long, flat stretch with no real swell to get excited about. We're looking at a gap that starts right now and goes all the way to the end of the window, with only small, weak waves and wonky winds.
The first bit of the outlook kicks off on Monday the 3rd of August, but it's a write-off. We've got a 7ft southerly swell, but the wind is screaming from the SSW at 22 mph, making it a messy cross-onshore mess. The combined swell energy is moderate at best (742), but with that wind, it'll be lumpy and horrible. Then, we get a tiny window on Tuesday the 4th. The swell drops right off to 3ft on Tuesday morning, with a light cross-shore wind, but it's still a poor surf call. The water temp is about 71°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so a wetsuit is fine.
From there, it just gets smaller. Wednesday the 5th offers a 3ft swell, but with rain and onshore winds. The rest of the first week and into the second week is a sad story of knee-to-waist high slop, with periods around 6 to 8 seconds and weak combined energy readings (often under 100). The only glimmer is on Monday the 10th of August and Tuesday the 11th, where we get a bit of a clean window with a light cross-offshore breeze from the WNW, but the wave height is only 3ft and 2ft respectively. It's surfable but tiny. The wind stays clean on Wednesday the 12th with a light offshore from the NNW, but again, the swell is just 2ft and weak.
For the rest of the run, through to the 18th, the swell is practically non-existent, dropping to 0.7ft and 0.3ft. It's a total flat spell. The easterly winds keep things cleanish on a few days, but there's no energy to push a wave. Overall, this is a blank run for Horseneck. It's a beach break that needs a decent push of south swell, and we just aren't getting it. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on the days with any wind, but for us, it's time to find something else to do. Keep an eye on the forecasts, though – it tends not to stay this poor for long.

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.
