Alright, let’s look at what’s coming for Nauset Light Beach. I’ll level with you – this sandbar is looking real quiet and messy over the next two weeks. There aren’t any real standout days. You’d be hard-pressed to find a proper wave.
Monday the 6th of July kicks things off with nothing going on – a weak 1 ft southeast swell, 10-second period, and a cross-onshore wind at 12 mph making it choppy and poor. Combined swell energy is a pathetic 36 – that’s weak juice. Don’t bother.
Tuesday the 7th: swell bumps to 6 ft from the east, but the period is a short 6 seconds, and we’ve got strong onshore winds gusting 25-28 mph. That’s a messy, blown-out mess with combined energy hitting 233 – moderate, but unsurfable with that wind. This setup is more for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Wednesday the 8th: still lumpy with 4 ft east swell, 7-second period, and a fresh cross-onshore breeze at 18 mph. Combined energy is 285 – moderate – but the quality is poor. Thursday morning the 9th the wind turns offshore from the SW at 16 mph, giving clean conditions, but the swell drops to just 2 ft with a 7-second period and combined energy of 48. Clean but tiny – maybe a longboard session if you’re keen.
From Friday the 10th all the way to Tuesday the 21st of July, it’s a long stretch of flat to tiny surf. Most days offer swell under 2 ft, weak combined energy often below 30, and while there are some clean periods with light offshore or side-offshore winds, there’s just not enough wave. A few afternoons like the 12th and 13th show clean conditions but with swell under 1 ft – it’s a pond.
The only faint glimmer is Saturday the 18th of July – we get a tiny 0.3 ft swell but with a very long 14-second period from the east. That’s a groundswell pulse, with combined energy of only 12. Still tiny, but that long period might produce a couple of clean, glassy lines in the morning with a moderate offshore wind. Still barely rideable.
Bottom line: this is a poor outlook. Nauset Light Beach is an exposed sandbar that needs a solid east swell with clean winds. That just isn’t in the cards for this forecast window. Keep checking back – it rarely stays this flat forever, and forecasts can change.
Stay patient, folks.

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.
