The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s run through this one.
It’s a sorry sight for North Pier (Narragansett). The whole 16-day stretch is mostly a bust, with a big, dry gap at the start. There’s nothing worth paddling out for in the first few days.
From Tuesday the 21st through the end of July, it’s all poor surf conditions. Onshore and cross-shore winds are a constant problem, and the swell is tiny. The water temp is 69°, which is about normal for the season.
We get a little spike on the 28th of July – a 5ft south swell Tuesday morning, but the wind is messy and cross-shore, with some rain. The energy is moderate (335). The Tuesday afternoon is a bit cleaner with a light cross-off breeze from the WNW, but the swell drops to 4ft. It’s surfable, but nothing special.
The 29th and 30th have clean windows, but the swell is too small – under 3ft. On the 31st of July, we get a 4ft south swell with a 10-second period and decent energy (268), but it’s still a “poor surf conditions” call. At least the wind is cross-off, so it’ll be clean.
That’s the lot. After the 31st, it’s a flat, windy run into August. The only real shout is the 28th of July (Tuesday afternoon) – 4ft, south swell, clean WNW wind. It’s not a classic, but it’s your best bet. Don’t expect much.
Rusty.
