The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for our local stretch.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and quiet. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak swell and mostly clean but unremarkable conditions. There's a glimmer of something towards the very end, but you'll need patience.

The first real chance of anything worth paddling out for doesn't show up until Thursday, the 20th of August. That morning, Nauset Light Beach is looking at a 4ft swell coming out of the east. The wind is set to be a light offshore from the west, which will keep it glassy and clean. The combined wave energy is moderate (172), so there's a bit of push there, but it's a short period at 7 seconds. It's a sandbar break, so don't expect any world-class shape, but for a break that's been dead for weeks, this is the one to circle. This is your best bet in the whole 16-day window. It's a beginner-friendly size, but with the short period it'll be a bit lumpy and won't have that long, lined-up feel. Later that afternoon the wind picks up, so get on it early.

After that, it fades again. Friday the 21st has a bit of leftover energy, but strong north-northwest winds will chop it up, and by Saturday the 22nd, we're back to tiny 1ft leftovers.

The rest of the time? Honestly, it's a write-off. From now until the 20th, we're dealing with ankle-snappers and knee-high dribble. There's a couple of mornings with glassy conditions and a tiny 1ft wave, but it's barely a ripple. The combined energy is mostly in the single digits or low teens – that's barely enough to get a foamie moving. You'll find cleaner water, but hardly any surf.

So, mark your calendar for Thursday morning, the 20th of August. It's not a classic, but it's the only show in town. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no worries there.

Stay patient, stay tuned.

Rusty.

Information about the Nauset Light Beach Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Nauset Light Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Nauset Light Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Nauset Light Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Nauset Light Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
