Hey, it's Rusty again. Let's break this down. Ogunquit Beach is looking like a slow stretch ahead. There's a big quiet period at the start, with hardly any surf for the first few days.
Tuesday, July 7th, we’ve got a tiny 1ft swell from the SE, weak energy at 29, and cross-onshore wind making it choppy. Nothing happening. That flat and messy pattern stays through Wednesday and into early Thursday, July 9th. Water temp is 64°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
Come Thursday morning, July 9th, we finally get a slight bump. Swell hits 3ft from the ESE, energy at 88, still weak. The wind turns cross-offshore and the water cleans up. It’s rideable, but nothing special. Friday morning, July 10th, goes glassy with a tiny 1ft swell, but energy drops to 38 – just not enough push.
There’s another little pulse on Tuesday afternoon, July 14th, with swell up to 5ft from the SSE and moderate energy at 131. The wind is cross-onshore, so it’s choppy. Not good. Wednesday morning, July 15th, we get offshore wind and 2ft from the SSE, but energy is only 49. Clean but puny.
For the best of a bad bunch, I’d point to Saturday morning, July 18th. We get 4ft from the ESE, and the energy jumps to 201, which is moderate. The wind is light and cross-shore, keeping it clean. It’s still marginal, but it’s the only thing with any real energy in the whole window.
The rest of the run into the third week sees mostly tiny swell and onshore breezes. A few mornings go glassy or offshore with small clean waves, like Sunday afternoon, July 19th, and Monday, July 20th, but the energy never gets over 102. It’s all very small and ordinary. There are long gaps where there’s nothing worth recommending. This stretch is better for a float than a surf.
Hang in there.

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.
