Table - best surf conditions forecast for Nauset Light Beach over the next 16 days.
Rusty again. Let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’ve got a long, quiet run with nothing on offer for the entire 16 days. The first record from the Finder kicks off on 7 July, and right from the start, it’s all poor surf conditions. There isn’t a single recommendation across the whole window.
Right out of the gate on Tuesday afternoon, 7 July, Nauset Light Beach is getting a 6ft swell from the ENE, but the period is a short and weak 6 seconds, and the wind is howling from the NE at 28 mph, blowing cross-on. That’s ugly. The combined swell energy is 324 (moderate), but it doesn’t matter with that wind. The water is sitting at 69°, which is 5° warmer than normal – that’s very unusual for this time of year, so the water will feel noticeably warm, but it’s not going to help the surf.
Wednesday the 8th sees a bigger pulse – 7ft from the ENE with a 8-second period, and combined energy jumps to 754 (strong). That’s size, but the wind is still cross-on from the NNE at 16 mph in the morning, so it’s going to be choppy and messy. By afternoon the wind drops to 6 mph, but it’s still cross-on, and the swell crashes to 3ft. Not the day to get excited.
Thursday the 9th flips offshore with a SW wind at 12 mph in the morning, but the swell is a tiny 2ft with a 8-second period. Clean, sure, but barely a ripple. The swell energy is only 45 (weak). Same story for the rest of the week – tiny waves and mostly sideshore or onshore wind.
Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th see a brief spike in wind from the NE at 19 mph, and a weak, short-period NNE swell shows up around 3ft to 3ft, but it’s wind-driven slop. Combined energy sits around 58-59 (weak). Not worth paddling out.
From Sunday the 13th through to the end of the outlook, it’s all under 2ft. Most days are clean or glassy (like the morning of Monday 13 July and Saturday morning 18 July with dead calm glass), but there’s no push. The swell energy barely breaks 20. The last little bump shows up on Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st – around 2ft from the SE with a 9-10 second period and clean offshore winds. Combined energy creeps into the 60s and 70s (weak to moderate), but it’s still small and weak.
For a sandbar break like Nauset Light Beach that needs a good E swell to work, and with optimum swell from the E, this set-up just isn’t delivering. The wave quality is poor across the board. This is a dead period.
Hang tight. These flat runs happen around here. Forecasts can change.
Rusty.

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.
