The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up for Nauset Light Beach.
To be straight with you, it’s a rough outlook. Over the full 16 days, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. From Monday the 7th all the way through to Monday the 22nd, it’s one poor surf condition call after another – a solid 16-day stretch of flat or messy waves.
The only flicker of something bigger comes around Friday the 11th, with a 3 ft swell out of the NNW and a combined energy of just 48 (weak). But the period is only 4 seconds – just wind chop, no real strength. Even the glassy Friday afternoon with 2 ft is still rated as poor. Not a single session gets a score above zero.
On Saturday the 19th, there’s a pulse of 4 ft from the north, combined energy 80 (still weak), but with a 5-second period and a fresh cross-shore wind kicking up a lumpy cross-chop. That’s the biggest swell of the whole run, and it’s still a mess.
The water temp at the start is around 67°, which is normal for this time of year.
With this kind of blank run and a beach break setup, it honestly looks more like kite surfing weather than paddle surfing. When the consistency is this absent, it’s just one of those quiet spells for the area. Forecasts can change, so don’t lose hope.

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.
