The Lowdown
Alright, let me level with you. Looking at the whole 16-day window, it’s a pretty grim run for Horseneck Beach. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing worth paddling out for, with a faint glimmer right at the end that’s just too far off to get excited about. The first real sniff of anything surfable isn’t until Sunday, July 19th, and even that’s a struggle.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first chance to get wet is Sunday morning, July 19th. The swell is a tiny 0.9m (about 3 feet) from the SSW, and the wind is cross-off from the WNW at 12 mph, keeping it clean. The wave energy is weak (82), but it’s surfable. By Sunday afternoon, the swell bumps up to 1.0m (just over 3 feet) from the SSW, period at 8 seconds, and the wind goes lighter offshore at 9 mph. The energy is still only moderate (146). It’s clean, but the waves are just ordinary. Honestly, it’s a “maybe if you’re desperate” kind of session.
Monday morning, July 20th, is the one standout in this whole outlook. The wind goes glassy, dead calm from the NW at 3 mph. The swell drops to 0.7m (about 2 feet) from the SSW with an 8-second period, and the energy is moderate (90). It’ll be small and clean, but with the wind like that, it’s your best bet for a smooth, uncrowded morning. The crowds are listed as “sometimes” here, so you might have a few others with the same idea.
After Monday morning, it’s a total wipeout. Tuesday and Wednesday are a mess of onshore and cross-shore winds, with a big storm swell on Wednesday, July 22nd, pushing 1.9m (about 6 feet) from the S with a 9-second period and strong energy (593). But the wind is blowing 31 mph from the SW, and it’s a “risk tstorm” day. That’s not paddle surfing; that’s a kite session if anything. The rest of the week and into the next is just a constant churn of poor surf conditions.
There’s a tiny bump on Thursday, July 31st, over a week away. Morning shows 1.1m (about 4 feet) from the SSW with a 6-second period, ENE wind at 9 mph, and weak energy (84). It’s still not great, but it’s the only other thing that pops up. It’s a long way off, so don’t plan around it.
Overall, the surf is flat and the conditions are poor. The one real highlight is Monday morning, July 20th, for a glassy session on small waves. The rest is a write-off until the very end of the month, and even that’s a maybe.

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.
