Table - best surf conditions forecast for Misquamicut State Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks down at Misquamicut State Beach.
First off, I gotta be straight with ya – there's no real surf to get excited about in this 16-day window. The whole run is marked as "poor surf conditions" from start to finish. That's a bummer, but this break is usually a pretty consistent one, so a blank stretch like this isn't the norm. Forecasts can always change, but for now, don't bother waxing up.
The water temperature is sitting at around 65°F, which is a full 4°F colder than what you'd expect for this time of year – that's properly unusual, so bring a thicker suit if you do paddle out.
Now, we do have some swell pulses coming through. You'll see small southerly swell with periods mostly between 5 and 9 seconds, and combined wave energy ranging from a weak 19 (Moderate breeze) all the way up to 338 (Moderate breeze) by Friday 24th July. But the problem is the winds – they're nearly always cross, cross-on, or onshore, and the quality just isn't there. Even the bigger days around the 14th to 16th July, where you get 3 to 5 ft from the SW, the period is short and the winds are messy. There's a brief moment on the 18th July Saturday morning with glassy conditions (ENE 3 mph) but the swell is only 2 ft at 6 seconds – barely a ripple.
So honestly, for a beginner spot that's very consistent, it's disappointing. There isn't a single day I'd call a stand-out. If you're desperate, maybe the morning of Wednesday 15th July offers the cleanest conditions with cross-off winds and 5 ft SW swell, but it's still only a 7-second period and the overall forecast is poor. Don't expect much.
Chase another forecast soon – this one's a write-off.
Rusty.
