Matunuck Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me break this down. I’ve got the charts for Matunuck here, and I gotta be straight with you—this stretch is looking flat. I mean, really flat. We’re talking a whole lot of nothing for days on end. The water temp is sitting at 69°F right now, which is about normal for this time of year, nothing wild there. But the surf? Man, it’s a tough watch.

We kick things off on Monday the 14th with tiny 1ft swell out of the southeast, period around 9 seconds. Wind is offshore from the NNW at 15 mph, so it’s clean, but there’s just no energy—combined energy is only 42 (weak). It’s a poor surf condition, honestly not worth paddling out for. Tuesday the 15th is even smaller, with the swell dropping to 2ft Tuesday morning but from the ENE and crossed up with a light breeze. That afternoon, it’s down to 0.7ft. We’re in the doldrums.

Wednesday the 16th through Thursday the 17th? Still tiny. Swell hanging around 0.7ft to 1ft, onshore or cross-onshore winds, choppy, weak energy readings in the teens and twenties. Friday the 18th shows a little bump with 2ft from the SW, but the period is a sad 4 seconds—basically wind slop. Morning has clean conditions with a light offshore from the north, but again, no push. That afternoon, wind swings onshore.

Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th stay small, though Sunday morning we finally see a pulse: 3ft from the SSW with a 6-second period, combined energy jumping to 67 (still weak). Wind is cross-off from the NNE at 15 mph, so it’s clean. Still, it’s not enough to get excited about.

Monday the 21st brings the first real change: 4ft from the east, period only 5 seconds, combined energy hits 103 (moderate). But the wind is cross-shore from the ENE at 12 mph, so it’s choppy. That afternoon, it’s cross-onshore. Not great shape.

Tuesday the 22nd stays similar: 4ft to 4ft from the ESE, short period, cross-shore and cross-onshore winds. Choppy, poor quality.

Then Wednesday the 23rd—now we’re talking. Swell jumps to 6ft from the ESE, period 6 seconds, combined energy at 310 (moderate to strong). But here’s the catch: wind is onshore from the SE at 12 mph, and the wave comment is “unknown,” which usually means messy. That size is getting into the too-big-for-beginners range, and with onshore wind, it’s gonna be a washing machine. Not a standout.

Thursday the 24th: 5ft from the SE, period 9 seconds, combined energy 456 (strong). But wind is cross-onshore from the SSW at 19 mph, so it’s lumpy. Friday the 25th drops back to 2ft, and from there it fades again.

Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th are back to tiny: 2ft and 1ft, with clean offshore winds on Sunday the 27th from the NNW at 12–19 mph, but the swell is just too small. Monday the 28th offers 2ft to 2ft from the SE with clean conditions, but again, weak energy.

So here’s the deal: there’s no real standout in this 16-day window. The closest we get to something surfable is Wednesday the 23rd with that 6ft pulse, but the onshore wind and short period ruin it. If you’re desperate, Sunday the 20th morning or Monday the 28th might give you a few clean but tiny waves. Honestly, this is a stretch where you’re better off checking the forecast again in a few days—things can change, but right now, it’s a long flat spell.
