Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer down at Nantasket Beach.
Honestly, looking at the full 16 days, it's a pretty flat and quiet spell. The first real week and a half is dominated by tiny, weak energy, and the conditions aren't doing us any favors either. The first solid recommendation doesn't really show up because the energy just isn't there for a proper surf. We're looking at a big gap with hardly anything rideable. The water temperature at the start is reading at about 69°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
The only window that even gets close to worth a session kicks off around the morning of Wednesday, July 9th, but the swell is a piddly 2ft from the east with a short, weak period. The wind goes cross-offshore, so it'll be clean, but you're basically on a longboard or a foamie just waiting for a ripple. There's a slight flicker on Wednesday, July 23rd afternoon, with a bit more east energy, but again, it's small and the wind is chopping it up from the northeast.
The strongest combined energy we see is 214 on Wednesday, July 8th, but that comes with a messy onshore wind and a poor rating. It's 5ft from the ENE, but it's ugly. After that, it's all downhill into the tiny stuff. There's no standout swell, no perfect window, and nothing that gets the heart racing. For a break that's exposed to the NE like Nantasket, we just aren't catching the right angle.
Truth is, for a consistent spot like Nantasket, this is one of those blank runs that happens. The forecasts can always change, but right now, it's a flat spell. You'd need to be a dedicated log head to find anything worthwhile here.
Rusty.

Information about the Nantasket Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Nantasket Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Nantasket Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Nantasket 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 (Nantasket 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 Nantasket 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.
