The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up for Nauset Light Beach.
Look, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough run ahead. We're looking at a solid stretch of poor surf, mostly from small, short-period wind chop and messy winds. There’s a big gap of almost nothing worthwhile on the cards until we get a sniff of something better way down the line. We’re in for a long wait.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until Monday the 23rd of September. Wednesday the 23rd of September afternoon is where you want to focus your energy. That’s your standout window. The swell bumps up a bit to about 4 ft from the S, and the energy kicks up to a moderate level (203). The wind finally plays ball, swinging light offshore from the WSW, and the report says conditions will be clean. It won't be massive, but for this stretch, that's the pick of the bunch. After that, things look small and pretty flat again for the rest of the week.
Don't get too excited about the rest of the month. We’ve got some onshore wind and weak swells keeping the vibe flat. Late in the month, around the 25th, there's a small bump of 3 ft from the NNW with offshore wind, but the period is a short 5 seconds, so it'll be weak and a bit all over the place.
In a nutshell: hold out for Wednesday the 23rd afternoon. If you’re a beginner, that 4 ft option is going to be plenty, especially with the clean offshore wind. The rest of this outlook is a write-off.
Stay patient.
