The Lowdown

G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've gotta be straight with you – this outlook's a tough one. We're looking at Nauset Light Beach over the next 16 days, and honestly, the first week and a half is flat as a pancake.

The overall pattern is grim. From now through till the very end of July, and into the first few days of August, there's just nothing doing. The swell energy is almost non-existent, with values barely reaching into double digits, and the wind is all over the shop. We're talking about a long dry spell from Wednesday, July 22nd, all the way through to Saturday, August 1st, with no surf worth mentioning – that's over a week of flatness.

Now, the only flicker of life shows up on Sunday, August 2nd. The morning brings a bit of a pulse from the south at 3ft, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is a clean cross-off from the WNW at 9 mph, which will keep things tidy. The water temp is running about average for this time of year at 66°. You'll want to get on it early though, because by the afternoon, the wind swings around and picks up, turning conditions ordinary again. After that, we're back to the same old story of tiny ankle-biters for the rest of the outlook.

So, the one standout, and it's the only game in town, is the Sunday August 2nd morning session. It won't be world-class, but it's clean, ridable, and the best we've got.

Stay patient.

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.
