Alright, let's get real about the next couple of weeks here in Narragansett.
To be honest, it’s looking like a pretty quiet stretch. We’ve got a lot of small, weak swells and a whole lot of "poor surf conditions" on the cards. The first real chance of anything ridable doesn't pop up until Tuesday the 7th, and even then it’s marginal.
The standout window, and it's a relative term here, looks to be around the 11th and 12th of July. We've got some moderate energy building, with the combined swell energy hitting 165 on Saturday the 11th afternoon. That's a modest pulse from the south, nothing massive. But the wind is going to be the issue – it's cross-onshore from the southeast, which will chop things up. Sunday the 12th morning is similar, with onshore wind and only moderate energy (137).
The cleanest conditions in this whole run are likely on Thursday morning, July 16th. The wind is cross-offshore from the southwest, which will keep the surface slick. The swell is only 3ft from the south at 8 seconds, but the energy is moderate at 122. It’s the kind of day where the waves are small and a bit weak, but they’ll be ridable and clean. Given this area is sheltered from the east, it's a spot that needs a light touch, and this day offers a small, clean window.
Water temp is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, running about 69°F. So you're not going to need a thick steamer.
Honestly, for most of the 16 days, you're looking at knee to waist-high slop with cross-onshore or onshore wind. There’s a few afternoons with cleaner wind, but the swell just isn’t there. Even the standout on the 16th is only going to be 3ft and might not have much push behind it.
If you're desperate for a paddle, focus on that Thursday the 16th morning at North Pier. It's clean, but keep expectations low. It’s a long wait for very little.
