The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a long-range look at what's cookin' for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. We're lookin' at a massive dry spell, almost two weeks of nothin' really worth paddlin' out for. The wave energy is super weak, barely crackin' triple digits, stayin' mostly in the low 20s and 30s. It's a whole lotta small, weak, and often messy conditions with onshore or cross-shore winds spoilin' what little shape there is. The water temp's sittin' at 69°, which is pretty average for the time of year, so no worries there for a quick session, but there's just no push.
The only faint glimmer I can see is way out there. We've got a bit of a pulse showin' up around Tuesday, September 22nd. By the morning, we're seein' a 4ft swell from the ESE with a middlin' 9-second period. That brings the combined energy up to a moderate 172, which is the most we've had all window. But it's messy, with a cross-shore wind puttin' a chop on the face. Still, it's the closest thing to a surf forecast we get. Then by Wednesday, September 23rd, the swell hangs in there at 3ft from the ESE with that same 9-second period and moderate energy (149), but the wind swings onshore, which is a real shame 'cause it's got a bit of grunt. For a beginner spot like this, that 4ft swell on the 22nd might be on the bigger side for a true beginner, and the onshore wind on the 23rd will make it a battle. It's a pity, as the break can be consistent when it gets the right SE swell, but we just ain't gettin' it this time. On the 22nd and 23rd, the ESE direction is a bit off the optimum SE, so it won't be at its best.
So, the honest truth? There's no standout here. The whole 16-day run is a washout. The setup's more interestin' for a kite on the windier days than for a surfboard. It's a long, quiet stretch for Misquamicut State Beach. Keep the board waxed and wait for the next system.
