The Lowdown
Alright, it’s Rusty again, looking at North Pier in Narragansett. Same story, different numbers.
The next 16 days are mostly a flat, quiet mess. From now until the 29th, there’s nothing doing. It’s a long gap with no surf to speak of.
On the 29th, we finally see a wave. Wednesday afternoon brings a 3 ft south swell with a short, weak 8-second period. The combined energy is moderate (117), but with a clean cross-offshore wind from the NNW, it’ll look better than it feels. Water temp is about average at 69°.
Thursday the 30th is the closest we get to a highlight. The morning has a 3 ft south swell with a 9-second period and the wind coming from the WSW, keeping things clean. Energy hits 139. By the afternoon, the period stretches to 10 seconds and the energy goes to 151. It’s still a small, ordinary south swell. Not a standout.
From there it drops off again. Monday the 3rd of August has a 3 ft to 3 ft south swell with a 9-second period, but the wind is cross-offshore and the quality never improves. Tuesday the 4th offers a 4 ft south swell in the morning but a cross-onshore wind messes it up. Nothing consistent or exciting.
The best call is Thursday the 30th, but I’m not breaking my neck to get there. Sheltered spots like North Pier need more energy to fire, and we just don’t have it.
Keep the wax dry. – Rusty
