The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about the surf, folks. It’s Rusty here, looking down the line for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I’ll tell you, it’s a slow stretch. We’ve got a lot of small, crumbly days ahead before anything with a bit of push shows up. The first week is going to be a real test of patience. We’re looking at days of ankle-biters, mostly under 3 feet, with a messy, short-period vibe. The energy is just weak and nothing gets the heart pumping. For the first few days, the wind is all over the place, and the waves will be lumpy and choppy. Glassy conditions on Friday the 11th won’t save us because there’s barely a ripple to ride.
There’s a slight improvement around Sunday the 13th with a bit more size in the afternoon, but it’s still pretty ordinary. It’s not until the back half of the window that we see any real potential. Saturday the 19th sees a bit more energy, but the wind is messy, making it more of a chop-fest than a surf session. Honestly, if the wind keeps up like that, Ogunquit Beach might be more fun for the kite surfers than us paddle surfers.
The one bright spot in this whole outlook looks to be Thursday the 24th. The morning is looking clean and glassy, with a waist-high-plus pulse of swell coming from the ENE. It’s a sign things are finally waking up, but the period is short, so it won't be a classic, but it'll be the best we've had in a while. After this stretch, it’ll feel like a score.
So, for the here and now, keep the board in the car but don't get your hopes up. Mark that Thursday the 24th on the calendar—that’s the one to aim for.
Rusty, out.

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.
