Hey, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s happening at Coastguard Beach for the next couple of weeks. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—the forecast looks mostly fried.
The whole stretch starts off dead. From Thursday, 2nd July all the way to the 10th, we’re just looking at tiny ripples, mostly 0.5ft to 2ft, and the wind is all over the place—cross-off, cross-on, onshore. Nothing that’s going to get you out of bed. The water’s running about 66°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but who cares when there’s no surf?
On Wednesday, 8th July, it bumps up a bit to 4ft from the SE, but the period is a miserable 5 seconds. The wave energy is right in the middle (68). The problem is the cross-shore wind. It’s a messy setup. Honestly, this looks more interesting for a kite surfer than someone on a paddleboard.
Now, the one real highlight. Saturday morning, 11th July. This is your day. The swell hits 5ft out of the south with a solid 9-second period. The wave energy jumps to 393 (strong), and the wind goes offshore from the WNW. That means clean, groomed faces. For a beginner-friendly spot like Coastguard, this is about as good as it gets—just enough size to be fun without being too heavy. Just a heads up, crowds are *sometimes* a factor here, so you won't be the only one with the idea.
After that, it’s back to the struggle. The Saturday afternoon goes cross-onshore and messy, and from Sunday the 12th onwards, it’s small again with lingering side-shore winds. Wednesday the 15th offers a little hope with 3ft swell and clean conditions, but the period is a short 7 seconds and the energy is only moderate (115). It's surfable, but it’s average at best.
So, to put it plainly: don’t rush out until the 11th. That morning is the one session of the run. Everything else is small or blown out. The long-range stuff is promising but less certain, so stay tuned. But as it stands, it’s a long wait for one decent window.
Keep an eye on the sky.

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.
