The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's on offer for the upcoming stretch.
Honestly, it's a tough outlook for Ogunquit Beach. We're looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple to get excited about for the entire 16-day window. The forecast is basically a flat-line for any decent surf. There are a few moments where the ocean wakes up, but the conditions are so poor it's a no-go.
The first real chance of anything rideable shows up on Tuesday, August 4th, in the afternoon. Now, I'm not gonna lie, it's not much. The swell is tiny, a mere 2ft from the SSE, and the combined energy is a weak 44. The only saving grace? It's glassy. The wind is calm, so the surface will be clean. But it's so small and weak, it's really just a chance to sit on a board and bob around. It's better than nothing, but don't expect a wave you can actually do much with.
After that, it's back to the same story. The next slight glimmer is on Sunday, August 9th, in the afternoon. Again, glassy conditions with a slight air, but the swell is even smaller at 1ft and the energy is a measly 9. It's a lake out there.
The rest of the period is a continuous run of tiny, weak, onshore-chop slop. The swell is consistently below 2ft, the wind is mostly cross or onshore, and the scores are all zeros. The water at Ogunquit Beach is sitting at 64°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so don't be fooled by the summer air.
Honestly, for the whole 16 days, there's nothing that a surfer would call a 'session'. The best advice I can give is to leave the boards in the car and maybe bring a kite. On some of those windier, choppier days like Sunday, August 2nd afternoon with a 3ft SSE swell and 16 mph onshore wind, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The combined energy of 48 is still weak, but there's enough wind to play with.
It's a blank run. It's normal for this area to have these flat spells, but it's a bummer. Forecasts can change, so keep your eyes peeled, but for now, there's nothing to recommend.

Information about the Ogunquit Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ogunquit Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ogunquit Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ogunquit Beach 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 (Ogunquit Beach) 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 Ogunquit Beach 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.
