The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Nauset Light Beach.
To be straight with you, the next week and a half is looking pretty bleak. We’re staring down a long gap of flat, weak conditions with barely enough energy to push a ripple. From Wednesday the 9th right through to the 16th of September, the swell is tiny – mostly 0.3ft to 0.7ft – with short-period, low-energy swell. The combined energy barely ever gets above 17 (weak). It’s just not happening. There’s a little bit of offshore wind on Thursday the 10th and again on the 16th, but with no swell to work with, it’s a waste of a good breeze.
Then, on Thursday the 17th of September, we finally get a pulse. The swell jumps to 4ft from the NNE with a short period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy hits 139 (moderate). That’s a decent amount of water moving. But the wind is a cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit choppy and not the cleanest. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.
Friday the 18th of September morning has a similar 4ft NE swell (102 energy), but with a clean offshore wind from the SW. That’s the best window we get. The waves will be a bit jumbled from the short period, but it’ll be rideable and clean. After that, the swell fades fast and we’re back to small stuff.
The real standout? It’s gotta be Friday morning, the 18th. That 4ft NE swell with offshore wind is your best bet for something clean. It’s not an epic day, but it’s the only session that looks worth paddling out for. Given the long dry spell, it’s a relief.
So, if you’re keen, mark Friday the 18th of September. Otherwise, it’s a whole lot of nothing for a while.
Rusty.

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.
