Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this 16-day outlook for Nauset Light Beach is a real bummer. The finder is giving this one a big thumbs down, and honestly, the numbers back it up.
The whole forecast period is a flat spell. From now, Monday July 13th, all the way through to Tuesday July 28th, the surf is just not gonna happen. The wind does some nice things at times, like a glassy session on Wednesday afternoon July 15th, or some clean offshore breezes, but there's no swell to work with. The combined energy never gets out of the single digits for most of the first week, and even when it climbs to 60 (moderate wave energy) on Monday afternoon July 20th, the swell heights are still tiny. You're looking at ankle-snappers at best, with the biggest waves barely reaching 2ft on Friday morning July 17th. That's not surf, that's a lake.
The water temperature is sitting at about 67°F, which is pretty normal for the time of year, so no drama there. But the lack of any decent swell from the east, which is the optimum direction for this spot, is the real killer. The wind is often offshore or cross-off, which would be a dream if we had any waves, but we don't.
Honestly, I wouldn't even bother putting the board on the car. This is one of those blank runs that happens here. The forecast can always change, but for now, it's a solid two weeks of no-go. Keep an eye on the charts, but don't hold your breath.
Rusty.
