The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the surf for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch for Narragansett. We’re looking at a long run of poor conditions that starts right now and just keeps on going. There’s a gap of nearly two weeks of flat or junk surf before we see anything even worth looking at. The whole first week of August is a total write-off, with nothing but small, weak, messy wind swell.
The only spot in the mix is North Pier (Narragansett). Right now, and for the next several days, it’s pretty grim. Swell is tiny, barely 1 ft to 2 ft, with a short period around 7 seconds – that’s windswell and it’s gutless. The combined energy is weak, topping out at 100 (low energy). The wind is a problem, too. It’s mostly onshore or cross-shore from the east and south, keeping things choppy and ugly. The water temperature is about 70°F, which is about average for the time of year, so that’s one thing that’s not a headache.
We get a bit of a break on the morning of Thursday, August 6th. The wind goes glassy from the SSW, and the swell bumps up to 2 ft from the SSE with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is still modest at 73 (weak energy). It’s not going to be big or powerful, but with that glassy surface, it’ll be clean. This is the best on offer, but it’s still a tiny wave. It’s a sheltered spot, so it won’t handle much, but this is the morning to have a paddle if you’re desperate.
After that, the forecast reverts to flatness. From Friday, August 7th all the way through Monday, August 10th, we’re looking at barely 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft of swell. The wind switches around, and even though the water is clean on the 9th, there’s just no energy to push a wave. The combined energy drops to single digits (2 to 5). It’s completely flat.
So, to be straight with you: there’s no standout day here. The only real window is that glassy Thursday morning of August 6th for a tiny, clean surf. Don’t get your hopes up for anything else. It’s a long, blank run, and that’s just how it goes sometimes around here.
Rusty.
