The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I'm looking at the next couple of weeks for Misquamicut State Beach. To be straight with you, it's a tough stretch. The forecast is mostly a long, flat spell with hardly any energy, so you're gonna have to be patient. There's a big gap with no real surf on offer from the start until the 10th of September.
Right now, and for the first week, it's tiny. We're talking ankle to shin-high dribble from the southeast, with combined energy barely cracking 30–40 (37). The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing out of the ordinary. The wind is often light and occasionally glassy, but it doesn't matter because there's just no swell to push it. You'll get a few days with a light offshore breeze, like Friday morning, but the waves are poor.
Then, things get a bit interesting around the 10th of September. On Thursday the 10th, a push of southwest swell comes in, bumping the height to 6 ft. The combined energy jumps up to 267, which is moderate. But the wind is a fresh 19 mph from the west, making it cross-off in the morning and cross-shore in the afternoon. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it'll be a bit lumpy and messy. That's a lot of size for a beginner, and the conditions are poor overall, so it's not a standout.
The best chance you'll get is on Friday the 11th of September. The swell drops to 3 ft from the southwest, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is still moderate at 114. The wind swings north-northwest at 12 mph, which is a clean offshore breeze. The report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," but honestly, that offshore wind makes it the best-looking window in the whole forecast. It's still not a classic, but it'll be the most ridable.
After that, it drops back to tiny, junky leftovers for the rest of the second week. The 15th of September afternoon sees a bit more energy (121) from the west-southwest, but it's cross-onshore and choppy. The 19th of September morning has a clean 4 ft swell from the east-southeast, but the wind is 16 mph, so it's not clean enough to call a standout.
To be honest, there's nothing here that's a real blinder. If you're desperate, the 11th of September morning is your window. The rest of the time, you're better off checking the forecast again or finding another hobby.
Stay patient.
Rusty.
