The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what Matunuck has in store for us. I gotta be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a paddle. There's really no surf to get excited about, so let's just call it as it is.
The whole 16-day window is a bit of a bust. From now all the way through to the end of the forecast, we're looking at tiny, weak waves and a whole lot of wind issues. The only time we see any real size is around Thursday the 10th, but even then, it's a mess. We get a bump of swell, with a combined energy reading of 318, but it's all cross-shore wind and the report calls it "poor surf conditions." That's a big pass. If you're a kitesurfer, that might look interesting, but for a regular surfer, it's not worth suiting up.
The water temp is sitting at about 70°, which is about average for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit just yet, but there's nothing else going for us.
So, to be honest, there are no standouts here. Not a single day where the stars align. The swell is too small, the period is too short, and the wind is never truly your friend. It's a long stretch of flat, blown-out, or just plain un-surfable conditions. We'll have to wait for the next weather system to shake things up. Forecasts change, but for now, leave the board in the car.

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.
