Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’re looking at a pretty quiet stretch ahead for Misquamicut State Beach. Don’t get too excited just yet.
We’ve got a blank run to start, and honestly it’s a long one – nothing worth paddling out for until Tuesday the 7th of July. The water’s sitting at 65°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a spring suit if you’re keen.
The real best bet in this whole 16-day window lands on Tuesday the 7th. Tuesday afternoon sees a jump in size to 5ft coming from the SE with a short 6-second period, and the wind goes glassy. That glassy condition is a massive positive – it’ll keep the surface clean as a whistle. The combined swell energy is moderate (194). It’s not world-class, but it’s the cleanest surf we’ll see all period.
Outside of that, the surf quality is pretty ordinary for the rest of the run. Most mornings and afterdays are plagued by cross or cross-on winds and small, weak swell. The best of the rest might be Saturday the 11th morning – a 4ft S swell with 8-second period, and a light cross breeze. The combined energy jumps to 402 (moderate), but it’s not glassy and the quality will be so-so.
Through the second week, the pattern stays very similar: small, short-period S swells battling moderate to fresh cross-onshore winds. Nothing to write home about. If you’re desperate for a paddle, keep an eye on that Tuesday the 7th afternoon window – it’s the only real highlight.
Stay patient, keep the wax soft.
Rusty.
