The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it: this forecast is a bummer. We've got a long stretch of flat and weak conditions on the horizon. There is nothing that’s going to get your heart racing.
Starting this Friday morning, August 7th, we have some tiny 1 ft waves at Nauset Light Beach, coming from the SSE with a short period. It’s clean with a light offshore wind, and the water is about 69°F, which is normal for this time of year. But the wave energy is almost non-existent, just a 10 in the combined energy scale. It’s not worth the wetsuit hassle.
The flat spell is going to dig in for over a week. From the 8th all the way through the 16th, it’s the same story: wave heights under 2 ft, weak energy, and short periods. The winds will offer some clean mornings, but there's no swell to work with. It's a whole lot of nothing.
There’s a tiny blip on the morning of Monday the 17th, where the swell bumps up to a still-puny 3 ft from the SE. But even with that, the energy remains weak and the period is short. It’s not going to make this sandbar break do anything worthwhile. And after that, it's right back to the same tiny dribble for the rest of the week.
Overall, this exposed beach break just isn't on for surfing. With the onshore winds and lack of any significant swell, this setup looks like it might be more fun for the kite surfers than for us. There are no standout days here—just a prolonged flat spell. We'll have to wait for the charts to change. This is a normal dry spell for the area.
Keep the boards waxed and the quiver ready, but don't waste the gas on this one. Stay patient.
Rusty, out.

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.
