The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it. Looking at the charts for the next couple of weeks, I gotta be honest with you, it's a pretty grim picture for Nauset Light Beach. We're staring down a long stretch of tiny, weak surf with almost no energy behind it. The only real window we have is right at the start, and even that's nothing to write home about.
The first bit of action, and pretty much the only bit worth mentioning, is on Sunday afternoon, September 6th. We've got a small 3ft swell rolling in from the Northeast with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 98, so it's not going to have much punch, but it's something. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NW at 9 mph, which will keep the surface tidy. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. It's not going to be epic, but it's surfable.
After that Sunday afternoon, the well dries up completely. From Monday the 7th right through to the end of the forecast on Monday the 21st, the swell barely registers a pulse. We're looking at wave heights mostly below 2ft, with energy readings dropping into the single digits for most of the period. You'll see a few days with offshore winds, like Thursday the 10th with a fresh 22 mph SW breeze, but with only 0.3ft of swell, it's a washout. There's a glassy morning on the 19th, but again, with 0.7ft of swell, it's a flat calm.
So, bottom line: the only paddle-worthy moment is Sunday afternoon. If you're desperate for a small, clean wave, that's your shot. The rest of the forecast is a blank run. For the area, a run like this is pretty normal when the swell just doesn't line up. Keep an eye on the charts, though, because it can't stay this flat forever.
Rusty.
