The Lowdown
Hey everyone, Rusty here. Let's break down the surf forecast for Ogunquit Beach. I'll be honest, it's a real mixed bag of mostly "meh" with one tiny, distant window of hope. This exposed beach break is going to be a tough nut to crack for the next couple of weeks.
We kick off on Sunday the 13th with barely a ripple. A tiny 1ft swell from the SE, short period, and very weak energy (26-63). Sunday afternoon might have a glassy surface, but it’s just too small to bother with.
Then the waiting game begins. From Monday the 14th right through to Thursday the 25th of September, the surf is consistently poor. Small waves, usually under 3ft, with onshore or side-onshore winds making a mess of things. There's a pulse around the 17th with a 4ft easterly swell (energy 145), but it's blown out and choppy. The 23rd brings more energy (295) with a 5ft swell, but again, the wind direction is all wrong for a clean wave.
So, where’s the hope? It’s a long way off, on Friday the 25th of September. That morning, we finally get a decent setup: a 4ft groundswell from the ESE with a solid 11-second period, pushing moderate energy (318). The big win is the wind – a light, glassy offshore breeze from the NE. That’s the recipe for clean, lined-up waves at this beach. It won't be huge, but for Ogunquit, clean and 4ft is a standout. Just remember, with a longer period like that, the sets will have a bit more time between them, but the paddle out will be a breeze.
That Friday morning is your one and only real opportunity. The rest of the forecast is a washout. Mark the date, be patient, and maybe I’ll see you in the water then.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Ogunquit Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
