The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for Ogunquit Beach is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, flat, and mostly bleak 16-day window. There’s barely a ripple on offer for the first week, and the second week doesn’t shape up to be much better. The combined wave energy is weak, staying in the double digits for most of the run, so don’t expect any grunt behind the waves.
The water temperature on Monday the 13th was sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s about the only bit of good news.
We don’t really have a standout session here. The best you might see is on the morning of Sunday the 19th. We’ve got a 2ft swell from the SSE, with a 5-second period. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the N at 16 mph, so the surface will be tidy. The combined energy is still weak at 31, so it’s not going to be a classic. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
The afternoon of the 19th sees a bump to 2ft from the NE, but the period drops to a terrible 4 seconds. That’s just wind slop, and the combined energy is only 48. It’s a clean wave, but it’s gutless. If you’re desperate, you could get a few knee-high rolls, but don’t expect much.
The end of the window on Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th offers a glimmer, with swell heights hovering around 2ft to 3ft from the SE, with periods of 7 seconds. The combined energy peaks at 84 on the 27th afternoon, which is still weak. The winds are light onshore or cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. It’s not worth a special trip.
Honestly, for a spot that’s already inconsistent, this is a blank run. The forecasts can change, and it never stays poor for long around here, but for the next two weeks, you’re better off keeping the board in the car and finding something else to do.
Rusty.

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.
