The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next stretch.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this one’s a tough pill to swallow. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a dud. We’re talkin’ about a long, flat spell with no real surf to speak of. The only spot on the radar is Nauset Light Beach, but even that’s a struggle. The energy is just not there.
Right from the start on Friday, July 31st, it’s tiny. We’re lookin’ at a weak 1 ft swell from the SE, with a short period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 66, which is basically nothing. The morning has a cross-shore wind from the NNW at 9 mph, making for a bit of chop. The afternoon goes glassy with a southerly wind dropping to calm, but the swell is still pitiful. Saturday, August 1st, is more of the same: 1 ft SE swell, period dropping to 8 seconds, and energy crashing to just 19. Winds are cross-off from the SSW, keeping it clean, but there’s just no push.
Sunday, August 2nd, the swell drops even further to 0.7 ft, and the energy is down to 9. This pattern just keeps repeating. A few days later, on Tuesday, August 4th, we finally get a bit of offshore wind from the SW at 12-16 mph, which would be a dream for clean conditions, but the swell is still only 1 ft with a 7-second period. The energy is only 25. It’s clean, but you’d be lucky to get a knee-high ripple.
The whole run is a bust. The waves are too small and weak to even call it surf. The water temp is about average for the time of year, but that’s small comfort when there’s nothing to ride. If you’re desperate for a paddle, maybe you’ll find something, but don’t hold your breath. This is one of those stretches where the forecast just isn’t cooperating. Keep an eye on it, though – it can’t stay this flat forever.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Nauset Light Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
