The Lowdown
Rusty again, and it’s the same story in feet and miles per hour. We’ve got a pretty grim outlook for Nauset Light Beach.
Right out of the gate on the 1st of August, Saturday afternoon shows a tiny 1 ft swell out of the SE with a short period. Combined energy is weak at just 11. Wind is cross-off, so the water’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride. This dead spell sticks around for days. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday are all tiny – 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft – with poor periods and next to no energy. It’s basically flat.
There’s a blip on Monday morning the 3rd with a 5 ft swell from the south, but the period is short, and the wind is a strong 25 mph cross-off. Energy hits 308, which is moderate, but with that wind, it’s messy. Not worth it.
From the 5th through the 11th, it’s the same story: tiny waves, often under 2 ft, with periods between 6 and 10 seconds. We get some offshore wind on the 8th and 9th, but on flat waves. The 11th brings a 2 ft pulse from the north with a very short period – just windswell junk.
The best conditions come on the 15th of August. Saturday morning is glassy with a light breeze, but the swell is only 0.7 ft with a short period. Combined energy is just 9. It’s clean, but you’ll be waiting a long time for a wave.
No standouts here. For the entire 16-day window, the most pleasant session might be that glassy morning on the 15th, but it’s tiny. The windier days could be interesting for kite surfing, especially the 3rd with that 5 ft swell, but for a paddle surf, it’s a bust.

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.
