Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s going on at Nauset Light Beach.

Honestly, it’s a grim start. For the first nine days, there’s basically nothing to ride. The swell is tiny, the periods are short, and while we get some clean-looking windows with light or offshore breezes, there’s just no muscle behind it. The combined wave energy barely hits double digits most days—sometimes as low as 3 or 4. You’d be bobbing around out there on a sandbar waiting for something that never shows. This spot needs a solid east swell to work, and we’re not getting it.

Things try to come to life around Monday, July 20th. That’s the one real standout, but it comes with problems. The swell height jumps to about 5ft from the east and east-southeast, but the period is a super short 6 seconds. The combined energy pushes into the 200s, so there’s some juice, but that short period means it’ll be weak and crumbly for its size. The big issue? Onshore wind. It’s howling straight on from the east-northeast at 19 mph on the 20th, then gets even worse on Tuesday the 21st with northeast wind at 25 mph and light rain. That sandbar is going to be a total mess—choppy, blown out, and hard work. For beginners, 5ft in those conditions is a no-go. Honestly, with that wind, it looks more like a kite surfing day than paddling.

The very end of the run, on Friday, July 24th, offers a small hope. We see a south swell around 4ft with an 8-second period and a light onshore breeze, giving moderate energy (169). The wind is still on you, and the period isn't long enough for good shape, so it’s a very average end.

Water temp is 65°, which is dead on average for the time of year.

So, the only real standout is that Monday-Tuesday stretch, but it’s only for experts who don’t mind getting hammered by onshore wind and messy surf. For most of us, it’s a long wait.

Hang in there, things always shift.

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.
