The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this one is a tough pill to swallow for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I’m looking at Horseneck Beach, and the news isn’t great. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real recommendations to chase. The first entry on the 30th of July shows a tiny 3ft southerly swell with a short, weak 8-second period, and the combined energy is a measly 84 (weak). That’s not enough to get excited about, and it’s already being blown out by a cross-offshore wind. The water temp is sitting at 71°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit to stare at the flatness.
From there, it’s a brutal run. We’ve got a gap of days where the best you’ll see is a 2ft to 3ft wave, but the wind is always a problem—cross-onshore, onshore, or just ruining any chance of a clean face. The period on these swells hovers in the 6 to 9-second range, so it’s all wind-slop and short-period junk. The only highlight is a glassy window on the morning of the 31st of July, but that’s a 2ft swell with a 0/10 score, so it’s barely a ripple.
As we move into the first week of August, nothing changes. The swell stays tiny, the wind stays wrong, and the combined energy figures are laughable—mostly double-digit numbers under 100 (weak). The 1st of August afternoon sees a slight bump in energy to 202 (moderate), but that’s a 3ft swell with a 15 mph cross-onshore wind. That’s a messy, choppy mess better suited for a kite than a paddle.
The second week is just more of the same. The 7th of August shows a 3ft swell, but it’s short-period (6-7 seconds) and blown out by 15 mph winds. The 10th of August morning goes glassy with a 2ft swell, but it’s still a 0/10 score for poor surf conditions. The 14th of August finally shows a clean cross-offshore wind, but by then the swell is a pathetic 0.7ft to 1.0ft.
Honestly, this is a classic case of "don't bother." The area is fairly consistent, but when it’s bad, it’s bad. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend. Leave the boards in the garage and go do something else.
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.
