Cupsogue Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for Cupsogue.

Right off the bat, things are looking grim. We’ve got a stretch of poor surf that runs from now through the weekend. Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th are basically a write-off – tiny, messy, with onshore or cross-shore wind. Sunday the 16th isn’t any better. You’re looking at a long, flat, and choppy gap until things finally start to change.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Monday the 17th. The morning sees a moderate offshore wind from the NW, cleaning things up nicely. The swell picks up to 5ft from the SSE, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 287 (moderate energy), so there’s some push. The water is sitting at 77°, which is a solid 4° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a notable difference, so you’ll be comfortable in a shorty or springsuit. It’s a fairly consistent spot, but with the NW wind and that size, it’s going to be clean and fun for intermediate surfers. The swell direction is SSE, and the optimum for this spot is SW, so it’s not a perfect match, but the offshore wind makes up for a lot. Keep in mind the period is short at 7 seconds, so waves will be a bit crumbly, not the long lines you’d get from a groundswell. This Monday morning window is the standout – the best on offer.

The rest of that week is a mixed bag. Monday afternoon and Tuesday the 18th still have some small, clean waves, but they’re ordinary. Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th are poor again, with onshore wind and chop. Friday the 21st through Sunday the 23rd is another stretch of poor conditions – onshore, cross-shore, and small.

The second week is quieter. Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th have a little bit of bump, but nothing to write home about. Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th are poor. Friday the 28th has a bit of clean swell in the morning (2ft from the SE, period 10 seconds, combined energy 107 – moderate), but the wind is light and cross-offshore, so it’s surfable but ordinary. That’s about the only flicker of hope in the second week. The last few days, Saturday the 29th, show a little more clean swell, but it’s still small.

Honestly, if you’re not out there on Monday the 17th morning, you’re going to be waiting a long time for anything decent. The rest of the window is mostly flat or messy. The break is a beach/jetty setup, so when the swell is that small and the wind is onshore, it’s not going to hold much shape. For the kite surfers, the stronger onshore winds later in the week might offer some interest, but for a paddle surfer, the pickings are slim.
