The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about this stretch. We’re locked into a long, flat spell for the area, and there’s not much love on the horizon for a while.
The first sign of any surfable energy doesn’t show up until Saturday the 1st of August. That’s a solid four-day gap of nothing. Even then, it’s tiny. The real story is a long wait, some hopeful moments, but nothing that’ll get you calling in sick.
Monday 27th July through to Friday 31st July is a write-off. The swell is tiny, barely registering any energy, and the period is short. It’s messy, and the wind is working against us. Not worth the paddle.
The first glimmer comes Saturday morning 1st August. North Pier (Narragansett) is the only show in town. The water temperature is sitting at 70°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. We get a tiny 3ft swell from the S, with a period of 10 seconds – that’s a bit more juice, but it’s still small. The big win here is the glassy morning conditions. It’ll be clean, but the energy is weak. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The wind is set to go cross in the arvo, so hit the dawn patrol if you’re desperate.
Monday 3rd August morning sees another chance. A 3ft S swell (period 8 seconds) with glassy conditions. The energy is moderate, and it’s surfable, but still just average. The afternoon picks up with a 4ft S swell and a gentle offshore wind from the WSW – that’ll clean it right up and the energy jumps. This is the standout period of the 16-day window. It’s not huge, but it’s the best we’ve got. The break is sheltered and fairly consistent, so there will be waves, but expect it to be a bit on the fat side. The energy is moderate, so it’s not a powerhouse.
After that, from Tuesday 4th August onward, it all drops off again. The swell fades fast, the wind is mostly cross-off, and the energy numbers are poor. There’s a little 4ft bump on the Thursday 6th August morning, but it’s a short-period 6-second windswell, which is just messy. Not worth the drive.
So, look, if you’re a true local who needs a paddle, the best bet is the Monday 3rd August afternoon session. The 4ft S swell with that gentle offshore wind is the cleanest option we see. Saturday morning 1st August is also ok, but it’s smaller. The rest of the run is a struggle. It’s a quiet time for the area, so don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
