The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak surf ahead, so don’t go getting your hopes up.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, there’s no real swell on the horizon. The first blip of surfable energy shows up on Wednesday afternoon, July 22nd, but it’s a poor one. We’re looking at a short-period, 4ft SSE swell at Ogunquit Beach, with a combined energy of just 131 (moderate). The wind is a cross-offshore from the WSW at 9 mph, so it’s not completely blown out, but the water is *much colder than normal* for this time of year at 58°, which is a massive 6° below average. That is very unusual. Still, the wave comment says it all – “poor surf conditions.” Not worth getting wet.
The only real window of hope comes on Thursday morning, July 23rd. The swell drops to 3ft from the SE, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is low at 95 (weak). But here’s the kicker – the wind goes absolutely glassy. Zero wind. That is a major positive. It’ll be clean, but it’s tiny. For a beginner, this might be a fun little session on a longboard, but it’s not going to get the heart pumping. The water temp is still not mentioned in the row, but remember the anomaly from the day before – it’s going to be a chilly one.
After that, it’s a desert. From Thursday afternoon, July 23rd, all the way through to the end of the period on Thursday afternoon, August 6th, every single forecast is marked as “poor surf conditions.” We’re talking swell heights below 2ft, short periods, and mostly cross-onshore winds. The combined energy readings are all in the low two-digit figures, mostly under 100 (weak). It’s a solid 14-day stretch of nothing. The wind is consistently from the S or SSE, which is cross-on for the beach, keeping things choppy and messy. With such weak, short-period swell and poor quality, Ogunquit Beach is looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, if you’re into that.
So, my honest take? The best on offer is that tiny, glassy window on Thursday morning, July 23rd. It’s the only clean surf, but it’s small. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your moment. Otherwise, save your energy. The forecast can always change, but as it stands, this is a blank run.
Rusty.

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.
