Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ogunquit Beach over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Overall Pattern
We’re looking at a long, frustrating gap of nothing but flat, weak, or messy conditions from now until the morning of Thursday, July 24th. That’s nearly a week of waiting. The wave energy is pathetic, barely cracking 20 or 30 for most of that time. The swell is tiny, the wind is almost always wrong, and it’s just not worth it.
Friday, July 24th – The First Glimmer
Friday morning finally offers something. Ogunquit Beach will see a tiny 0.7m SSE swell, but the magic is in the wind. It’s glassy, dead calm. The combined energy is a weak 49, so it’s not going to be powerful, but it will be clean. Expect some knee-high, maybe waist-high lumps if you’re lucky. The water is sitting at 16°, which feels a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so a good wetsuit is a must. This is the best of a bad bunch – a ‘surfable but very ordinary’ session if you’re desperate.
Saturday, July 25th – Sunday, July 26th
Saturday is a write-off – light cross-onshore winds spoil the tiny 0.8m swell. Sunday morning, July 26th, is a repeat of Friday: flat glass with a 0.8m SE swell. The wind is dead calm again. The energy is still low, around 84, but it’s another clean option in a sea of poor conditions. The afternoon goes cross-off with a light breeze, so it’s still rideable for the small-wave crew.
The Rest of the Window
From Monday, July 27th, through to Monday, August 3rd, it’s back to poor surf. The swell stays small, mostly under 1m, and the wind is a constant cross-shore or cross-onshore mess. The only thing to note is a very small, clean window on Tuesday morning, July 28th, with a glassy 0.6m ESE swell, but combined energy is only 42. Then on Sunday, August 2nd, the swell bumps up to 1.0m from the south, but it’s cross-shore and chopped up. The energy is moderate at 115, but the wind kills it.
The Bottom Line
Look, this is a trade-off. The only clean windows are on Friday the 24th and Sunday the 26th, but the swell is tiny. The water is a bit chilly, the crowds at Ogunquit Beach are often present, and the break is inconsistent. It’s not a flat-out blank run for the whole 16 days, but it’s close. For a beginner, it’s safe, but for anyone looking for a real wave, you’re going to be disappointed. Don’t get your hopes up.

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.
