Hey mates, Rusty here. Let’s talk Horseneck Beach for the next couple of weeks. Truth is, it’s looking grim for a while. From Tuesday the 7th right through to Monday the 20th, there’s not a single session worth getting wet for. The swell is tiny – most days under 3ft – with short-period, weak energy and winds that are mostly onshore or side-shore, leaving the surface lumpy and choppy. The water temp on the 7th is about 72°F, which is a good 5°F warmer than normal for July – feels like a bath, but that’s the only silver lining. The combined swell energy is in the doldrums, mostly double-digit numbers, nothing with any punch.
The first real hope comes on Saturday the 18th, over a week away. On the morning of the 18th, we see a 3ft swell from the SSW at a 6-second period, with glassy winds – flat calm. The combined energy hits 123 (moderate), the best of the whole run. It’s a short-period wave, so it’ll be a bit fat and soft, but that glassy condition is a beauty. It’s only 3ft, so it’s fine for beginners. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you might share it with a few souls, but it won’t be packed. That Saturday morning is the only standout in the entire 16-day window.
After that, it fades. Sunday the 19th afternoon brings a 4ft swell from the S at 5 seconds, but with moderate rain and onshore breeze, it’ll be a messy closeout. Monday the 20th afternoon has 3ft from the S at 9 seconds, with moderate energy at 129, but the wind is side-onshore and choppy. It’s not terrible, but it’s not clean.
For the paddle surfer, it’s a waiting game. For kite surfers, those onshore, choppy days with 3-4ft of wind swell might actually be a blast. Hang tight, and hope the next chart run brings something with more period.

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.
