The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me tell you how it’s looking for you.
Gonna be honest with you, mate, this is a tough stretch. For a place like Misquamicut State Beach, it’s looking pretty flat and messy for the better part of the next week. The water is sitting at a nice 69° right now, which is about average for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing going for us for a while.
We’ve got a long dry spell coming up. From now right through until the 23rd of September, the surf is just not worth paddling out for. Tiny, weak swells, mostly under 2 ft, and the wind is all over the place. There’s a brief window on the afternoon of the 13th where we see a bit of a bump from the SSE, but it’s short-period stuff and the energy is weak (129). Not exactly gonna get the heart pumping.
Things finally start to look up on the 23rd of September. Wednesday afternoon sees a solid pulse of swell arriving from the SE. We’re talking 7 ft of swell with a period of 7 seconds and a nice offshore breeze from the NNW. That’s going to clean things right up and the energy is strong (410). That’s the standout for the whole forecast. It’s a bit on the bigger side – that 7 ft is going to be for experts only, as it’s over 8 ft once you factor in the sets.
Following that, the 24th of September still has some decent leftovers, with 4 ft to 5 ft of SE swell, and Thursday afternoon looks glassy. The energy drops to moderate (156) but it’ll be rideable for the experienced crew.
So, to sum it up: you’re waiting a long time for it, but the 23rd of September afternoon is the one day where it all comes together. Don’t bother before then.
Rusty.
