The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Nauset Light Beach over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you right off the bat – it ain’t lookin’ pretty. The whole 16-day stretch is a dry spell for surf. There’s absolutely nothing rideable on offer, not a single session that’s worth paddling out for.
The pattern is a long, drawn-out run of tiny, weak waves. The only day with any bump at all is Monday, August 3rd, with a south swell pushing 6 ft and a moderate combined energy of 537 – that’s solid energy on paper. But the rain and a strong 25 mph SSW wind tear it to shreds. It’s a messy, blown-out, poor surf setup. For the rest of the first week and well into the second, we’re lookin’ at ankle-biters and knee-slappers. Swell heights barely top 3 ft, and most days are under 2 ft, with weak energy readings in the double digits. The wind is a mix of cross-off and onshore, with a few mornings seeing a gentle offshore breeze, but there’s just no swell to work with.
The water temp on the first recommend is 66°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent spring suit.
Don’t even bother with the second week – it’s more of the same flatness. The 4 ft spike on Saturday, August 15th, is a short-period, onshore wind mess. Periods of 4 seconds are just wind chop, not surf.
This is a tough one to call, but it’s a blank run. Nauset Light Beach is an exposed sandbar, and it tends to have its quiet spells. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s no standout. I’d say hang the board up and go for a beach walk.
Rusty.

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 Nauset Light 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.
