The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch of days ahead. We’re starting off with a bit of a wait.
First up, we’ve got Horseneck Beach. The opening session is Thursday morning, July 23rd. The swell is a weak 3ft from the south, and the period is short at 8 seconds. The wind is a light cross-off from the north, so the surface will be clean, but the wave energy is low (136). It’s surfable, but it’s what I’d call “very ordinary.” The water temp is about average for this time of year.
After that, it’s a long dry spell. From Thursday afternoon right through to the end of July, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The swell drops off, the wind turns onshore or cross-on, and the conditions are just poor. The combined energy drops into the double digits for days at a time – weak, messy, and frustrating.
We get a tiny flicker of life on Thursday morning, July 30th. A 2ft south swell with a 9-second period and a light offshore from the northwest. The energy is still low (84), but the clean surface makes it surfable. It’s a far cry from good, but it’s the only real window of clean surf in the whole run.
The rest of the first week of August is more of the same: tiny, weak swells, onshore or cross-shore winds, and poor quality. The combined energy rarely breaks 100, and the period stays short. It’s flat, choppy, and not worth the drive.
For a spot that’s a sandbar, fairly consistent by nature, this is a tough stretch. The southeast exposure is getting nothing from the south swells, and the wind is almost always wrong. If you’re desperate for a session, the cleanest window is that Thursday morning, July 30th, with the light offshore. But really, it’s a week of waiting for something better.

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.
