The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about North Pier (Narragansett). Straight up: the next 16 days are a total bust for anyone looking for a real surf.
We start out on Wednesday afternoon, August 5th. There’s a little south swell at 2ft, period a weak 7 seconds, with a combined energy of just 53 (weak). Wind is cross-off from the southwest, so the surface is clean, but there's no push behind it. Water temp is 71°, right about average for the season.
The whole first week is a drag. Thursday the 6th through Sunday the 9th keeps us in waves under 3ft, with periods stuck between 6 and 8 seconds. The wind stays mostly cross-off or light, so the surface stays clean, but the energy never gets going. The best we see is Sunday morning the 9th with a combined energy of just 41.
There’s a bit of a tease on Wednesday morning the 12th when we get glassy conditions with a light northeast breeze at 3 mph. The swell is still only 2ft from the south with a short 6-second period and low energy (30). It’ll be a smooth lake, not a surf.
The second week is more of the same sad story. We see a 14-second period swell on the 13th, but it’s only 0.3ft with an energy of 4—just a rumor. A few mornings with light wind or glass, like on the 17th, but the swell is barely a ripple at 0.7ft.
Honestly, there are no highlights here. No standouts. If you’re looking for a clean, tiny wave for a longboard or a foil, you might find something on a couple of mornings. But for real, proper waves? Don’t bother. It’s a long, flat run with nothing worth chasing.
This is Rusty, signing off.
