The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down the next 16 days at Misquamicut State Beach, but in feet and miles per hour for you. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: this is a rough stretch. There’s a huge dry spell right off the bat. From now until the morning of Sunday, September 20th, it’s basically a 12-day desert. The swell is tiny, the wind is junk, and the few pulses that come through are wrecked by cross-shore or onshore breezes. That little spike on Thursday the 10th with a 5ft swell from the SSW? Don’t even think about it. The wind is blowing 19 to 22 mph from the southwest, creating lumpy, choppy mess. The combined wave energy hits 281 (moderate) that afternoon, but it’s a washing machine out there. That setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle board.
Finally, on the morning of Sunday, September 20th, we get a window. The wind swings north at 9 mph, blowing offshore, cleaning up a 4ft swell from the SSW. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s a bit weak and won’t hold its shape well, but it’s the cleanest we’ve seen in weeks. The combined energy is 126 (moderate), and the report calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." After two weeks of nothing, this is your best bet. The offshore wind is a major win, making the surface glassy. The 4ft is fine for a beginner, but the short period means it’ll be a bit fat and slow. And remember, this spot gets crowded often, so be ready to share the water.
The afternoon of the 20th stays clean with a cross-offshore breeze, but the energy drops. After that, it’s back to flat and weak. That’s the whole story. A long wait for one brief moment of hope. Keep your board waxed, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
