Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me tell you straight up: this 16-day window for Coastguard Beach is a real bummer. There's nothing on the table that I'd call a surf – every single session from July 6th right through to July 21st is showing poor conditions. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave energy is pathetic. For a beach that's usually consistent for beginners, this stretch is a total dud.
If you're thinking of paddling out anyway, I'll give you the rundown. On Monday the 6th, you've got a miserable 0.7ft of ESE swell with a period of 10 seconds – yes, the period is okay, but at that height you're barely getting a ripple. The water temperature is sitting at 68°F, which is a whopping 4°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that's unusual, but it won't help the waves. Wind is light onshore, so it's messy.
Tuesday the 7th brings a bit more height – 5ft in the morning, 5ft in the afternoon – but it's short-period junk from the east (6 seconds) and the wind is howling onshore at 25 mph. That's a recipe for wind slop, not surf. Combined wave energy is only 110–170, so weak to moderate at best, and it's all poor.
Wednesday the 8th is a little better with 5ft early, but the wind is cross-onshore from the NE at 19 mph, making it lumpy. Afternoon drops to 3ft with gentler cross-onshore, but still poor. Thursday the 9th sees the swell plummet to 2–2ft, and though the wind shifts cross-offshore from the SW, the energy is tiny (25–46). Clean but too small.
From Friday the 10th onward, it's a grim pattern: swells under 2ft, short periods, and wind that's either onshore, cross-onshore, or occasionally cross-off but with barely any wave to ride. The combined energy values rarely break 50 – that's weak stuff. There's a moment on the morning of the 17th with a light offshore from the WNW and a glassy afternoon on the 17th with 1.0ft from the SE, but again, that's not enough to get excited about.
Honestly, this is a blank run. Coastguard Beach is a consistent spot, but when the ocean gives you nothing for two weeks straight, you're better off waiting for the next system. Forecasts can change, but right now there's no reason to paddle out. I'm calling it as I see it.

Information about the Coastguard Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Coastguard Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Coastguard Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Coastguard 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 (Coastguard 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 Coastguard 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.
Coastguard Beach is 14 km (9 miles) from Brewster. If you plan a vacation in Massachusetts, look for hotels and other accommodation in Brewster. Brewster has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
