Table - best surf conditions forecast for Nauset Light Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty checking in. Let’s be straight with you, folks. We’re looking at a pretty grim 16-day window for Nauset Light Beach. The guidance is pointing to a single spot, Nauset Light Beach (a sandbar setup), and it’s just not delivering.
Right off the bat, the forecast is a long, dry spell. From now through the entire 16-day run, we’re looking at a total blank. Day after day, the combined energy of all swells directed here is pitifully low, sitting in the weak range (values like 31 down to just 1). The scores are zero across the board. This isn’t just a slow week; it’s a complete shutout.
For the first week, we’re talking tiny, weak waves. Friday the 10th sees a 1ft east swell with a short 8-second period, but it’s cross-offshore and clean. Still, it’s too small to bother with. That pattern holds through the weekend and into the start of the next week—flat or near-flat conditions with dodgy onshore winds. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.
The second week doesn’t get any better. Around Monday the 21st, there’s a slight uptick to a 3ft SSE swell with a 9-second period, and the combined energy climbs to 101 (moderate). But it’s cross-onshore and choppy at a beach break. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one. For a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot like this, a blank run of this length is pretty normal for the area’s fickle sandbar. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Stay patient.

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.
