The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. We're looking at a long, flat spell with almost nothing to get excited about. The first real sign of life doesn't pop up until the 19th of July, and even then, it's just a whisper. The water's sitting at about 68°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's not gonna save the surf.
The best bet in this whole outlook is the morning of Thursday, the 23rd of July, at Nauset Light Beach. We've got a little 2ft southeast swell rolling in, and what makes it stand out is the glassy conditions – that's a major positive. The wind is dead calm, coming from the north at just 3 mph. It'll be clean, but don't expect any power; the combined energy is only 83 (weak). For a beginner, that tiny, clean wave is actually a good option.
Another morning to keep an eye on is Monday, the 27th of July. Again, we're looking at a small 2ft swell from the east-southeast, but with glassy conditions from a light 3 mph south-southwest breeze. The energy is weak (33), but it'll be clean. That's about as good as it gets.
Other than those two mornings, it's a whole lot of nothing. The swell flickers to life a bit on the 24th of July with a 3ft SSE swell, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it'll be choppy and messy. The energy jumps to 145 (moderate), but the quality just isn't there. For a sandbar setup like this, with poor surf quality and onshore wind, it honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The bottom line is we're in for a dry spell. There's a stretch of real flatness from now until the 19th, and even after that, the surf is small and inconsistent. Don't hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a waiting game.
Rusty.
