The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. We’ve got one spot on the radar for the next couple of weeks, and it’s a tough one.
Right now, we’re looking at a long stretch of flatness. There’s nothing rideable from today through to the end of the month. The first chance for a paddle comes on the 31st of July, but it’s a real small one. Before that, there’s a solid 9-day gap with no surf to speak of.
The only break in the game is Coastguard Beach. It’s a beginner-friendly, exposed beach setup that’s consistent, but it’s a magnet for the crowds. The water temp is sitting at 66°F, which is pretty much standard for this time of year, nothing unusual.
The first sniff of a wave shows up on the 31st of July, Friday morning. We’re talking a tiny 1ft of swell from the SSE, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind goes light offshore from the west, which is a major positive – it’ll be glassy and clean. The combined energy is a weak 33 (so don’t expect much push). It’s a true beginner wave, but it’s also the best you’ll get.
Through the first week of August, it stays small. Most days are 1ft or less, with periods between 6 and 9 seconds. The winds are mostly cross-offshore from the SSW, which keeps the surface clean, but there’s just no power. The morning of the 2nd of August sees a 1ft swell from the SE with a light offshore breeze – clean, but tiny. The 4th of August morning is similar, with a 1ft swell and clean conditions, but it’s still a knee-high dribbler.
The afternoon of the 5th of August drops to a 0.3ft swell, and the 6th of August is the same story with a 0.3ft swell from the east. The period jumps to 11 seconds on the 6th, but with that little height, it’s not going to do anything. The combined energy is down to 5.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a saltwater rinse, the morning of the 31st of July is your best bet for a clean, tiny wave. But overall, this is a flat spell. The setup is better for a kite than a paddle on most days, especially when the wind picks up. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

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.
