Matunuck Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's been shaping up for our local stretch.

Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it's a tough run ahead. For the whole sixteen-day window, the waves are just not playing ball. We're looking at a long, frustrating gap of small, weak conditions. The first solid chance of anything decent isn't going to show until Tuesday, July 7th, and even then, it's a tough sell.

Before that, from the 2nd through to the 6th, it's a write-off. Swell heights are ankle to knee high at best, with the combined energy barely scraping 20 to 30 (22-34) for most of it. Winds are messy, switching from cross-on to cross-off, and the periods are short and weak.

The one spot we've got in the mix is Matunuck. It's a sheltered reef break that handles a SE swell best. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about normal for this time of year.

Now, the only flicker of life comes on Tuesday, July 7th. The swell starts to lift a little, with the morning seeing 3 ft of easterly swell and the afternoon bumping up to 4 ft from the ESE. The combined energy jumps to 118 (106-118), which is still only moderate. The wind turns cross-off from the NE, so it'll be clean with some shape. It's a short-period windswell though, around 5-6 seconds, so don't expect any power or long lines. It's surfable, but it's not a stand-out.

Wednesday the 8th and the rest of the week offer nothing more than tiny scraps. On Wednesday, July 15th, we get a moment of glassy conditions in the morning with a flat 2 ft wave. It'll be pretty as a pond, but you won't be riding much. The following afternoon, the 16th, sees another pulse – 3 ft from the south with a combined energy of 137 – but the cross-onshore from the SW will chop it all up.

In short, there's no true standout session. The closest we get is the afternoon of Tuesday, July 7th, with chest-high clean lines at Matunuck, but it's weak and short-period. For the rest of it, you're better off checking the forecast again in a few days. Sometimes it just runs like this.

Rusty, signing off.
