The Lowdown
Right, what a run of flatness we’ve got shaping up here at North Pier in Narragansett. Honestly, there’s nothing really rideable on the cards for a long stretch. The first sniff of anything close to surfable comes much later, but even that is just a flicker in a real quiet spell. It’s a tough outlook.
The water temp sits at 69°F, which is about average for the time of year. Not a standout either way.
We start in the middle of the week and it’s just poor. Wednesday the 22nd has a 4ft swell from the south, but that’s with a strong 16 mph cross-off wind, and the wave comment says it all – poor conditions. That combined energy is 203, which is moderate, but the wind ruins it. That rolls into Thursday the 23rd with a drop to 3ft and a cross-on breeze – still poor. By Friday the 24th, we’re down to 2ft and it’s just small and messy.
We then hit a major gap. From Friday the 24th all the way through to Sunday the 2nd of August, nearly ten days, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions with scores of zero. There’s nothing worth a paddle. Swell heights bounce between 1.0ft and 4ft, but the wind is always wrong, the period is short (mostly 7-8 seconds), and the combined energy is weak to moderate at best. Not a single recommendation in that window.
The only slight hint of life appears on Wednesday the 29th of July. The morning is still poor, but by the afternoon we get a brief window of 3ft south swell with a 13 mph offshore wind from the WNW. The energy is moderate at 124. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s the best we get, and that’s a 1 out of 10. It’s not good, but it’s the only time the wind is actually offshore.
After that, it’s right back to poor conditions and tiny swell for the rest of the forecast. Even the offshore winds on the 31st of July and the 1st of August are on 2ft to 3ft of short-period slop. It’s a long, quiet run with only one very marginal moment where the wind might make something small and weak rideable.
