The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and miles per hour. So the outlook for Ogunquit Beach over the next 16 days is pretty bleak. There’s no proper swell on the horizon, and the conditions are mostly messy. It’s one of those periods where you’re better off just going for a paddle or waiting for the next proper system.
Water temp is about average for this time of year.
The first real chance you’ve got is Thursday, September 3rd. The morning is glassy with a light south wind at 3 mph, and a tiny 2 ft swell from the SE at 9 seconds. Combined energy is only 74, so it’s ankle-to-knee high dribblers. It’s clean but weak. The afternoon picks up to 3 ft, but the wind goes north at 6 mph, cross-off, keeping it rideable but still very ordinary. The swell period drops to 6 seconds, making it choppy and weak.
From Friday the 4th all the way through to the end, it’s a rough run. Days of small, weak swell, mostly under 3 ft, with poor wind directions – lots of cross-onshore and onshore breezes, rain showers, and combined energy readings mostly under 100. Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th see a bump in wind (9-12 mph) and some cross-chop, but the swell never gets above 4 ft, and the period is short and weak.
There’s a brief clean moment on Thursday, September 10th with fresh offshore wind from the NW at 18 mph, but the swell is a pathetic 1.0 ft – clean but flat. That’s the story for the second week: clean conditions with offshore breezes but no swell.
The only shift comes on Thursday, September 17th, when the swell period jumps to 13 seconds, hinting at some longer-period energy, but the height is only 0.7 ft. Combined energy is 39 – still too weak to surf.
Honestly, this stretch is a write-off for paddle surfing. The swell never builds to a rideable size with decent consistency. You’re better off checking back after this block. Sometimes it doesn’t stay poor for long. Signing off – 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.
