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.
