The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about Misquamicut. It’s been a tough stretch, and honestly, looking at the next two weeks, it’s a story of waiting. The water is sitting at 68°F, which is a bit colder than what we usually get in late July.
For the first full week, from Friday the 31st right through to the morning of Monday the 10th of August, it’s just a flat, poor run. The wind is almost always cross or cross-onshore, the swell is tiny and weak, and the energy readings are low. There’s a bump in the afternoon of Monday the 3rd with 6ft, but it’s coming with a fresh 22 mph onshore wind and a lumpy mess. Not worth a paddle. The energy that day hits 302 (moderate), but the quality is shot.
The real window opens on Monday the 10th of August. The morning shows 6ft of swell from the south with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind is glassy. That’s a beautiful thing. The energy is strong at 481. The afternoon stays clean with a 5ft south swell and a nice cross-offshore breeze from the northeast. This is the standout. For a beginner spot, 6ft is pushing the upper limit of comfort, but for anyone with a bit of time in the water, this is the cleanest, most powerful surf we’ve seen. The break is very consistent, and the offshore wind direction is a treat. Crowds are often here, so get there early.
Tuesday the 11th starts calm and glassy with 3ft, but the energy drops off fast. By the afternoon, the wind is back onshore and the surf fades. After that, we’re back to small, weak, and ordinary conditions through to the 15th. The 12th has a clean morning but only 2ft, and the rest is just tiny.
So, bottom line: the whole first week is a write-off. Save your energy for Monday the 10th of August. That’s the one morning that’s worth setting the alarm for. Get on it, because after that, it’s a long dry spell.
