Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m lookin’ at our local zone, Horseneck Beach. It’s a sandbar setup, a good spot for beginners, breaks fairly regular when there’s swell, and it likes a southeast direction best. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year—nothin’ out of the ordinary.
Right off the bat, I gotta tell ya, the next couple of weeks are lookin’ real grim. We’ve got a long dry spell with nothin’ worth paddlin’ out for. From the start on Saturday the 4th through to late Monday the 7th, it’s all poor surf. Tiny waves, lousy wind, and just a weak, short-period slop. Honestly, you’re better off stayin’ on the beach.
Then, on Tuesday the 7th of July, we get a tiny blip. The afternoon shapes up with a glassy, dead-calm wind, and a little pulse of swell at 3.6ft from the southeast. The wave energy kicks up to 99, which is still weak, but it’s the best we’re gonna see. That glassy wind makes it clean, so if you’re a beginner or just want to bob around on a longboard, that’s your window. It’s not big, it’s not powerful, but it’s clean.
After that little tease, we slide right back into the gutter. Wednesday the 8th through the end of the outlook on Sunday the 19th is just one long stretch of weak, onshore-battered junk. Most of the time the swell is under 3ft, the wind is cross or cross-on, and the wave energy rarely gets out of double digits. There are a few moments where it gets glassy again on Wednesday the 8th afternoon, but the swell is a pathetic 2.3ft, so it’s not worth the drive.
The one other spike we see is on Wednesday the 15th of July, with a 4.6ft swell from the SSW and moderate cross-shore wind, kickin’ up an energy reading of 189. But that’s still paired with a “poor surf conditions” call and a chop, so it’s messy and not the kind of wave that’ll have you smilin’.
Bottom line: if you’re dead set on gettin’ wet, the glassy window on Tuesday the 7th afternoon is your only real shot, and even then it’s marginal. For the rest of the run, you might as well save your wax. This is just one of those stretches where the ocean’s takin’ a nap.

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.
