The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be real: this 16-day window is a tough one for Matunuck. There’s nothing on the table that’s good enough to get excited about, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. The whole run is a bust. We’ve got a solid 16 days of poor surf conditions, with only a couple of fleeting moments that are technically surfable but nothing you’d paddle out for.
The water is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 68°F, about 3°F below average, so you’ll feel that chill.
The first real chance to even consider a paddle comes on Tuesday the 4th in the morning. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the west, so it’s clean, but the swell is weak – only 4 ft from the south with a short 8-second period. The combined energy is a measly 213 (moderate but barely). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Not worth changing your plans for.
After that, it’s back to the grind. The rest of the first week and all of the second week are just a mess of onshore and cross-onshore winds, choppy, lumpy conditions, and tiny, weak swell. The wind is relentless from the south and southwest, mostly moderate to strong, and the swell never gets a good window.
There’s a tiny glimmer on Tuesday the 11th in the morning. We get a gentle offshore wind from the north, and the conditions are clean. But the swell is only 4 ft from the south-southwest with a 7-second period, and the combined energy is just 121 (weak). Again, surfable but very ordinary.
Wednesday the 12th morning is glassy with a light easterly breeze, but the swell is a pathetic 2 ft from the south. The combined energy is only 50 (weak). You’d be sitting out there on a longboard, if you’re lucky.
Honestly, this is a write-off. The pattern is poor, the wind is wrong, the swell is weak and short-period. It’s one of those stretches where the forecast has to change significantly to get anything going. For now, save your energy and your wax.
Rusty.

Information about the Matunuck Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Matunuck provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Matunuck can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Matunuck surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Matunuck) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Matunuck 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.
