The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – if you're looking to get wet at Misquamicut State Beach over the next couple of weeks, you're going to want to sit this one out. The pattern for the entire 16-day window is grim, with only a single day that even gets a sniff of being surfable, and even that's nothing to write home about.
We've got a long stretch of flat and messy conditions starting now and running right through to Tuesday, September 17th. From Wednesday the 2nd all the way through to the morning of Tuesday the 17th, it's all "poor surf conditions" – just tiny, weak, and wind-chopped slop. The morning of Monday the 7th is the closest we get to something clean, with glassy conditions and a bit of a long-period 11-second SE swell pushing in, but it's only 1 ft and lacks any real punch. Don't get your hopes up.
The one and only slim chance comes on Wednesday morning, September 17th. The wind will be light and offshore from the west. We'll see a jump in the swell to 4 ft from the east, with some moderate wave energy (106). The combined energy and the light wind mean it's technically surfable, but the conditions are described as "very ordinary." It's a glimmer of hope, but don't expect much.
Water temps are about average for the time of year, so no crazy thermals to worry about. Honestly, for an exposed beach break like this, it's a long wait. The setup would honestly be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most days here.

A general guide to surfing at Misquamicut State Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Misquamicut State Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Misquamicut State Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
