The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the next 16 days at Misquamicut State Beach are looking like a long, flat spell of frustration. I've stared at the charts, and frankly, it's a tough watch. The water is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, sitting at 68°, so you might want that spring suit on.
Right now, into early August, conditions are pretty poor. We've got small, short-period S swell – only 3 ft at 8 seconds – and it's being blown out by a cross-onshore wind. The wave energy is a weak 80, and it's just not worth getting wet. This pattern of messy, onshore wind and tiny surf is set to drag on through the first week. There's a brief moment on the morning of Tuesday the 4th when the wind goes glassy, but with only 4 ft of weak S swell (energy at 172), it's surfable but very ordinary. Not a standout.
The second week doesn't get much better. The swell stays small, and the wind is mostly cross or onshore. There's a little spike in energy on the afternoon of Friday the 14th, with 6 ft of SSW swell pushing the combined energy to 303, but the period is only 6 seconds and it's onshore – that's a messy, lumpy close-out. Not a good look for a beach break.
Honestly, this is a blank run. Don't hold your breath. The waves are just not cooperating. For now, I'd say the forecast is more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers when the wind picks up, but for a proper surf session, there's nothing good on offer.
Rusty.
