The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Misquamicut State Beach has in store for us over this 16-day stretch. Honestly, it’s a tough read, so bear with me.
We’re kicking off with a pretty bleak run. From Thursday September 3rd all the way through to Wednesday September 9th, the surf is basically a non-event. Tiny, weak, and mostly messy. The wave energy is nowhere to be found, with the combined energy sitting at a pitiful 57 (weak) on Thursday morning, and it just gets worse from there. Even when we get a few moments of glassy conditions on Saturday afternoon, the swell is only 1 ft from the SSW with a short 6-second period – not enough to push a jellyfish around.
A small window tries to open up on Thursday September 10th. The morning sees a moderate offshore flow from the west at 16 mph and a 4 ft SSW swell with a combined energy of 108 (moderate). But the quality is still marked as poor. By the afternoon, we finally get a nod towards “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – still, the swell drops to 3 ft with an offshore wind, making for clean conditions. This is the only real time in the whole forecast you might get a half-decent look, but it’s marginal at best and only for the most dedicated.
From Friday September 11th onward, it’s back to the doldrums. Tiny swells, poor wind directions, and very low wave energy – most readings are well under 30 (weak). We see some clean, glassy mornings on Saturday September 12th and Wednesday September 16th, but the swell heights are barely 1.0 ft to 1 ft. There’s just no push.
Overall, this is a classic flat spell for the area. There’s nothing here for beginners, and frankly, not much for anyone else either. The only faint glimmer is that Thursday afternoon, September 10th, where you might find a clean, small wave if you’re desperate. Otherwise, leave the board at home.
Rusty.
