The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a pretty quiet outlook for Ogunquit Beach. The start of the period is basically flat, with barely a ripple. We’re looking at tiny, weak swells for the first week, and the wind is often a problem. The situation improves a little toward the middle of the second week, but don’t get your hopes up for anything special.
We don’t see any real standouts in this forecast. The one day that might be worth a look is Wednesday, July 22nd. The morning is a write-off with a fresh cross-shore wind and lumpy conditions, but the afternoon brings a shift. The wind drops right back to a light breeze, going cross-offshore, and the water cleans up. The swell is 4 ft from the SSE with a period of 9 seconds, so it’s a short-period, weak groundswell but the energy is moderate (238). The water temp is around 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. For a beginner spot like Ogunquit, this is about as good as it’s going to get – clean, small, and manageable. Keep in mind it’s inconsistent here, so don’t expect it to be pumping.
The rest of the run is a bust. Most days have tiny surf under 3 ft, with poor wind directions, often cross-onshore or onshore, making it choppy and messy. There’s a brief period on Sunday the 19th and Monday the 27th where you might find a small, knee-high wave with clean conditions, but honestly, it’s barely surfable. The swell energy is weak (under 100) on those days.
Overall, it’s a lean period. The forecast often changes, so don’t write it off completely, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about. If you’re desperate, the afternoon of the 22nd is your best bet.
Rusty.
