The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for this stretch of coast.

We’re looking at a pretty quiet picture for the next couple of weeks. There’s a big gap of surfable days starting off, and honestly, the first real chance of a wave doesn’t show up until Sunday the 9th of August. That’s a long dry spell of about a week and a half with no real recommendations on the table. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.

For the first hint of something worth paddling out for, we’re looking at Nauset Light Beach on Sunday morning, the 9th of August. We’ll see a little pulse of groundswell from the SE, 2ft, with a solid 12-second period. The combined energy sits at 146 (moderate energy), so there’s a bit of push behind it. The wind will be light offshore from the W, and it’s going to be clean. That’s a rare moment of glassy conditions in what’s otherwise a pretty flat forecast. It’s a sandbar break, and it’s fairly consistent when there’s swell, but keep in mind the crowds can be there sometimes. The swell direction is SE, which is a little off the optimum E direction, but with that offshore wind, it’ll still shape up okay for a small, clean session. This is your best bet for the whole outlook, but the waves are small, so it’s not a barnburner.

Later on, the 11th of August, Tuesday afternoon, there’s a spike in energy with a 4ft SE swell and a 12-second period, giving us a combined energy of 675 (strong wave energy). But the wind is cross-onshore from the ESE, and it’s listed as “poor surf conditions,” so it’s rough and choppy. That’s only for the experts, and the setup looks more interesting for a kite session than a proper paddle surf.

The rest of the window is a mix of tiny, weak waves with poor wind or onshore junk. The 12th and 13th of August have some moderate energy (350 and 395) with 3ft to 4ft SE swell, but again, cross-onshore wind and choppy conditions. It’s a tough run.

So, bottom line: if you’re desperate for a paddle, Sunday morning the 9th is your best shot. It’s clean, it’s small, but it’s surfable. The rest of the forecast is a waiting game.

Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Nauset Light Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
