The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same period for the Ogunquit Beach area, in feet and Fahrenheit.
So, we’ve got a long, flat spell to kick things off. The beach is open to the SE, which is the direction we need, but for the first week, the wind is mostly a problem, or the surf is just too small. There’s a big gap of poor conditions right through the end of August and into the first week of September.
The one real highlight is the morning of Saturday, September 5th. The swell is a tiny 3 feet from the East, but the period is a solid 11 seconds, which is a real groundswell. That’s gonna give the waves some shape. The combined energy of all swells directed here is 233 (moderate). The wind is glassy, dead calm. That’s the dream—clean, smooth lines. Ogunquit is a beginner spot, but this 3-foot groundswell with good shape will be fun for anyone. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.
The Saturday afternoon gets ruined by the wind switching onshore, even with the same 3-foot swell. The 6th of September, Sunday, is cross-shore and messy, so skip it.
Into the second week, the 7th of September, Monday, brings a clean offshore wind from the NW, but the swell has dropped to barely 2 feet. It’s clean, but it’s not enough to get excited about. The 8th is even smaller and windier. From the 9th through the 12th, it’s just tiny, short-period, onshore slop. Not worth your time.
So, the only real option is that Saturday morning, September 5th. It’s a long way out, but the glassy conditions and that long-period east swell are a real treat. Get on it early, because Ogunquit can get busy, and that window is short.
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.
