Alright, let’s get real about this forecast. I’m Rusty, and I’ve been watching this stretch of coast for a long time. I’ll tell you what’s on the table, no fluff.
We’re looking at a long, lean 16-day window here. Honestly, it’s a tough run for the North Pier (Narragansett). The first solid wave of the period doesn’t show up until the morning of the 21st of July, and even then, it’s barely a whisper. From now until then, there’s a real dry spell—over a week of flat, messy, or just plain disappointing surf. You’re looking at poor surf conditions day after day with tiny swell and often cross-onshore or choppy wind. The wind is clean at times, but there’s nothing to push it.
The standout moment, and really the only one worth circling on the calendar, is the morning of Tuesday the 21st. We’ve got a small 4ft swell rolling in from the south, with a period of 9 seconds. Combined wave energy is moderate at 205, and the wind is glassy—yes, glassy. That’s a rare treat. The water temp is about 69° which is near normal for this time of year, so it’s not a shock when you get in. The break is fairly consistent and sheltered, but with that tiny south swell, it’s going to be a longboard or a funboard kind of day. The swell direction is from the south, and the optimum is from the east, so it’s not a perfect match, but the glassy wind will make it feel better than it looks on paper. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so on a Tuesday morning with clean conditions, expect a few others who’ve been waiting just as long as you.
By the afternoon of the 21st, the wind swings around to a cross-shore and the waves drop a little, so the window is really just that morning. After that, we’re back to poor conditions, tiny swell, and onshore wind for the rest of the week. There’s a flicker of moderate offshore wind and 3ft swell on the 25th, but it’s still messy and the period is short at 7 seconds, so it’s not going to be special.
The bottom line: if you’re desperate for a splash, the 21st morning is your best bet. For the rest of the 16 days, leave the board in the car and maybe go for a paddle if you’re bored. The setup is just too small and too inconsistent to get excited about.
