The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for our local stretch. The next 16 days are a bit of a mixed bag, but I’ll walk you through what’s on offer.
The first session worth paddling out for is on Wednesday, July 15th at Misquamicut State Beach. The morning is clean, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the west at 12 mph and a 3 ft SSW swell, period 7 seconds. The combined wave energy is 94 – weak, but it’s rideable. The afternoon turns a little more interesting, even with a risk of thunderstorms. The wind shifts to a gentle WNW breeze at 9 mph, still cross-off, and the swell bumps up to 4 ft from the SW with a period of 6 seconds. The energy picks up to 173 (moderate), and the water is a bit colder than normal for this time of year at 66°, about 3° below average. The conditions are clean, making for some surfable, if not spectacular, waves. Don’t expect much push, but it’s a start.
We then hit a dry spell. The next decent window doesn’t roll around until Sunday, July 20th afternoon. The wind is onshore from the S at 12 mph, so it’s a bit choppy, but there’s a 3 ft S swell with a 9-second period pushing some energy through (233 – moderate). It’s not pretty, but there’s some wave face to work with.
The real standout, and the best on offer across the whole period, is Sunday, July 26th morning. We’ve got a 4 ft S swell, period 7 seconds, with a combined energy of 181 (moderate). The wind is dead calm from the NW at 0 mph – glassy perfection. This is the cleanest mornin’ we’ll see. The waves will be small but smooth, and for a beginner spot like Misquamicut, that’s a beautiful thing. The water is still a bit below average for the season, so bring a spring suit. Crowds are often a factor here, so get out early.
After that, we’re back to small, choppy, and onshore conditions through the end of the month. Tuesday, July 28th rolls in with a 2 ft SE swell and onshore winds – not worth the paddle.
Honestly, this stretch is a wait-and-watch. The glassy session on the 26th is your best bet. The rest is mostly small or blown out.
