Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, Rusty here, and I’m gonna level with you. We’ve got a rough stretch ahead for Misquamicut State Beach. Right now, through the next couple of weeks, it’s looking pretty flat and messy for the most part. The swell just isn’t there, and when it does show a little pulse, the wind messes it up. The water is sitting at about 65°F, which is a bit colder than what you’d usually expect for July – one of those days you’ll be glad for the wetsuit.
Right from the start, Saturday the 4th is a non-starter with tiny 1ft swell and cross-shore winds. That flat spell hangs around for a good few days. You might see a tiny bump around Monday the 6th, with 4ft of swell, but that’s coming with 16 mph onshore wind and rain – total write-off. The only real whisper of something rideable comes on Tuesday the 7th morning. We get a little 3ft swell from the ESE at a short period of 7 seconds, but the wind is a light cross-offshore (6 mph from the NE), keeping it clean. That’s your one and only true standout in this whole 16-day window. The wave energy is moderate at best (102), and it’s a beginner-friendly wave, but if you’re a regular, don’t expect barrels.
After that, it’s back to the grind. We see some 3ft to 4ft swells pop up here and there through the second week, but they’re nearly always accompanied by onshore or cross-shore winds, or the period is so short (5 to 6 seconds) that the waves are just bumpy and disorganized. By the 18th of July, there’s a bit more energy kicking up (179), with 5ft swell, but rain and onshore wind ruin the party. The 18th afternoon shows a clean 4ft wave with light cross-offshore wind, but again, the overall conditions are only "surfable" at best. That’s probably the next best call if you’re desperate, but don’t set your alarm.
Honestly, this is one of those spells where you’re better off waiting for the next forecast update. The break is very consistent, so it won’t stay dead forever, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
Best bet? Tuesday 7th July morning – it’s the only real window for a clean, surfable wave. After that, keep an eye on the 18th afternoon, but don’t hold your breath.
