The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cookin’ at Ogunquit Beach.
Right now, the outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell ahead. For the next several days, the surf just isn’t cooperating. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, with short periods and a lot of cross-onshore wind keeping things messy. You’ll see a lot of "poor surf conditions" in the forecast, and honestly, it’s not worth paddling out for. This stretch runs from now all the way through the end of July and into the first week of August. The water temp is sitting at a chilly 59°F, which is a whopping 6°F colder than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, so don’t forget the thick rubber.
There is a glimmer of hope, but it’s a way off. On the morning of Thursday, July 30th, we get a bit of a pulse. The combined energy jumps to 185 (moderate) with a 4ft swell from the ESE, but the period is a short 6 seconds. The wind swings around to a cross-offshore from the NNW, cleaning it up. Then, that Thursday afternoon, the wind goes offshore from the W, with a 4ft swell from the east and the wave comment finally says "surfable waves." It’s not big, but that offshore wind will make it clean. Friday, July 31st, also has some potential with a clean morning and a 3ft east swell. After that, it drops off again into tiny, weak surf for another week.
Look, the only real standout in this whole 16-day window is that Thursday, July 30th afternoon through Friday, July 31st. The wind is offshore, the surf is just over 3ft, and the conditions will be clean. For a spot that’s usually inconsistent, this is about as good as it gets in this forecast. Don’t expect perfection, but it’s the only time you’ll see any sort of shape.
Overall, it’s a lean run. Surfable waves are few and far between. But keep an eye on that end-of-July window.
Rusty.

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.
