The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be real about Nauset Light Beach for the next couple of weeks. I'm looking at a pretty grim picture, to be honest.
First up, the water is sitting at 66° – that's a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so you might want a thicker spring suit or a hood if you're out for a long session.
We kick off the period on Monday, August 3rd, but it's ugly. A solid 6ft of south swell is running, but it's getting hammered by a near-gale cross-offshore wind at 31 mph. The combined energy is moderate (322), but the wind is just ruining it. That's a no-go for a paddle board. If you're kiting, that setup actually looks more interesting than it does for surfing.
Tuesday the 4th is a world away from the day before. The swell drops right off to 2ft on Tuesday morning with a clean, gentle offshore wind from the west. The problem is the energy is weak (47). It's little, clean, and pretty but not worth paddling out for.
From Wednesday the 5th all the way through to the end of the forecast on Tuesday, August 18th, the story is the same: almost no swell. We're looking at wave heights between 0.3ft and 1ft day after day, with combined energy readings that rarely crack double digits. There are long stretches here, nearly two weeks, where there's just nothing to recommend. The only thing worth noting is the glassy, calm conditions on the morning of Tuesday, August 11th, and again on Saturday, August 15th, but even then, the swell is just too small to do anything with.
So, the honest truth is there are no standout sessions here. The blank run is long and it's normal for this spot when the energy is this low. It's a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards in the van.
Rusty.
