The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this next couple of weeks for North Pier in Narragansett is looking pretty flat. The first real surf worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until Monday, August 17th, and even then, it’s not going to blow your mind. There’s a gap of nearly five days with nothing but tiny, poor surf conditions, so don’t bother rushing down before then.
The best window we’ve got in this whole 16-day stretch is that Monday morning, the 17th. We’ll see a 3 ft swell coming from the south, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate, sitting at 115. That’s a little bump of energy, but the period is short, so the waves will be a bit weak and crumbly. The wind is a gentle cross-shore breeze from the north at 9 mph, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. It’s not a day for beginners, but there’s something to ride.
The standout though, the one I’d circle on the calendar, is actually the morning of Sunday, August 23rd. We’ve got a 2 ft south swell, but the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the southwest at 16 mph. The combined energy is 51 – still weak, but for this stretch, it’s about as clean as it gets. The waves will be small and clean, and with a crowd that’s only "sometimes" an issue, it’s a fair bet for a fun little session on a longboard.
After that, the end of the month is a write-off. The 24th and 25th are blown out with strong onshore winds and lumpy, choppy conditions. The 26th morning has a cross-shore and cross-chop, but the afternoon of the 26th turns glassy with a tiny 1 ft south swell – that’s really just a float session, not a surf.
Overall, the water temp is about average for the time of year, so no need to worry about a wetsuit change. But honestly, the surf is minimal. If you’re desperate, hit it on the 17th or the 23rd, but don’t expect much.
Rusty.
