The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. North Pier in Narragansett is lookin' like a ghost town for the next couple weeks.
We got a long, flat spell runnin' from Tuesday the 18th all the way through Sunday the 23rd. The waves are tiny, barely a knee-high ripple, with no power behind 'em. You're lookin' at swell under 3 feet and energy readings that are weak. Not worth the drive.
Monday the 24th gives us a pulse of life: a 4ft S swell shows up in the morning with a light offshore breeze, which should keep things smooth. The energy reading hits a moderate 176, so at least it's got a little bump to it. But it fades quick, and by afternoon it's gone.
Then it's flat again until Friday the 28th. That day and Saturday the 29th are your best bets, and honestly, they're still nothin' special. On Friday the 28th, we get 4ft of S swell with a moderate energy of 192. The afternoon has a clean cross-offshore wind from the SW at 15 km/h, which is your best chance of the whole outlook. Saturday morning the 29th is similar with 4ft S swell (177 energy) and clean winds. But even then, the surf quality is still called poor. It's something to ride, but don't expect a classic.
The water temp is about normal for this time of year. North Pier is usually a fairly consistent spot, but this is just a blank run. There's really just one or two days that even qualify, and they're just okay. For the entire 16-day window, that's all she wrote.
Keep the board in the garage. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a waiting game.
