Nauset Beach is the first easily accessible surf spot you hit coming from the west. It's a beautiful stretch of sand that offers a laid-back vibe, ideal for surfers looking to catch some waves without the hassle of crowds. The beach has several peaks to choose from, making it a decent spot for both beginners and experienced surfers. However, be mindful that it can get a bit tricky with strong rips at times, especially when the surf is larger.

The surf at Nauset Beach generally breaks over sand and works best with a southeast swell direction. You can expect the waves to handle sizes around 2 feet (0.6 meters), and they do have their moments of being short, fast, and hollow, especially with a westerly offshore wind. The best sessions typically fall around mid incoming and outgoing tides. The waves break both left and right, so there's plenty of variety to keep things interesting.

It’s worth noting that the beach is patrolled by lifeguards who usually keep the swimming areas clear of the best sandbars for surfing, so keep that in mind if you're looking for the best spots to catch some waves. Overall, Nauset Beach can serve up some fun sessions, especially when the tide and wind align just right.
