The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here again. Let's talk Misquamicut State Beach in feet and miles per hour, 'cause I know some of you like it that way. We're lookin' at a long, dry spell. The first wave worth mentioning doesn't roll in until September 10th. That's about a week and a half of pretty much flat conditions.
We got days and days of tiny, weak swells with energy readings mostly in the 20s and 30s (weak). A few mornings clean up with offshore wind, like the 29th of August, but the swell is a pathetic 1 ft. Water temp is about normal for this time of year, but who cares when there's no surf?
The one and only little blip is on the morning of September 10th. A 3 ft south swell with a short 7-second period rolls in, and the energy finally climbs to 115 (moderate). The wind comes light out of the NE at 6 mph, making it clean and glassy. It's your best bet, but it's still pretty weak. The day before, on the 9th, there's a clean 3 ft SSW swell, but it's even weaker.
For a beach break like this, a long flat spell can happen. It is what it is. That 3 ft south swell is really only gonna be fun for the beginners or the longboard crew. Not much else to say.
This is Rusty, wishing for some swell.
