The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the next couple of weeks at Horseneck Beach are looking pretty grim for a paddle. We're staring down a long, dry spell with hardly any surf worth mentioning.
The outlook starts with a big fat zero. From Friday the 24th of July all the way through to Wednesday the 30th, it's a total write-off. We're talking ankle-biters of 1 to 2 feet, mostly from the south or southeast, with short, weak 7-second periods. The combined energy is pitiful, barely cracking 45 (weak energy). On top of that, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, making it choppy and messy. If you're a kite surfer, that afternoon breeze on the 25th and 28th might look interesting, but for a surfboard? Forget it.
The water temp is sitting at 69°F, which is pretty much bang on average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Now, there is a tiny glimmer on Thursday the 30th of July. The morning session shows a NNW offshore wind blowing at 9 mph, cleaning up the 2-foot swell from the SSE. That's a 11-second period, which is a nice long-period groundswell, and the combined energy jumps to 181 (moderate wave energy). The forecast calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," which is a generous way of saying it's the best of a bad lot. Still, offshore wind on a sandbar that's "fairly consistent" could offer a few clean little waves for a beginner. Don't expect much, but it's the only window in the first week.
After that, we slide back into poor conditions. The rest of the first week and into the second sees more onshore winds and tiny swell. By the time we get to the 7th of August, the swell bumps up to 4 feet from the SSW, but it's straight onshore with a 7-second period and combined energy of 158 (moderate). It will be a choppy, wind-blown mess. The 8th of August offers a clean-ish cross-offshore wind from the WNW, but the swell is tiny and weak again.
To be honest, there isn't a single standout session in this entire 16-day window. The closest thing to a "best on offer" is that Thursday morning, the 30th of July, with the offshore wind and a bit of groundswell. But even that's a long shot. For now, keep your board in the car and your eyes on the forecast.
Rusty.

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.
