The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the stretch ahead. Gotta be straight with you—this isn't a week for the quiver to get dusty, but it is one for patience. We're looking at a long, quiet start.
Right now and for over a week, Ogunquit Beach is pretty flat. There's a whole lot of nothing on offer from now until mid-month. We're talking tiny, knee-high or ankle-high dribble with a combined swell energy barely cracking double digits (11 on the 9th), and that's being generous. It’s a poor run, plain and simple. The water temp is sitting at 68.7°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only thing out of the ordinary.
Finally, around Monday the 17th, things perk up. The morning sees a jump in size with a 4.6ft swell from the south. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 308, which is a proper bump. The wind is clean out of the NNW, making for a nice, clean morning session. It’s not huge, but it’s the most energy we’ve seen in a long time. This window is your best bet for a paddle. The swell period is short at 7 seconds, so it won’t be the most organized, but it’s rideable.
After that, it settles back down. Tuesday the 18th morning has glassy conditions and a 1.3ft swell, but the period stretches out to 15 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, and for a beach break like Ogunquit, those long gaps between sets can make it a bit tricky, though the energy is clean. The combined energy is 85, which is still weak. It's surfable, but very ordinary.
The rest of the second week is more of the same—small, weak, and mostly onshore or cross-shore winds. Thursday the 20th morning looks pretty with glassy conditions and a 1.6ft swell (117 combined energy), but it’s still small. Honestly, if you’re an absolute beginner, the clean, tiny waves on the 17th or 20th might be a fun, safe learning day. For everyone else, it's a waiting game. The standout is undeniably Monday the 17th morning—that's the one day with some real push behind it.
