The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m looking at a long, dry spell to kick things off. We’ve got a real flat patch stretching from now, Sunday the 26th, all the way through to the end of July and into early August. There’s barely a ripple, and the combined energy is sitting in the low double digits at best – that’s weak stuff. You’re looking at about a week of waiting with nothing worth paddling out for.
The first real sign of life shows up on Monday the 3rd of August. The swell finally bumps up, with a 4ft southerly swell in the morning. The combined energy ticks up to 173 (moderate), so there’s some push. Wind is a light cross-offshore from the southwest, which will keep things pretty clean. It’s surfable, but these are very ordinary conditions. Not a standout, but it’s the first real chance to get wet.
North Pier (Narragansett) is the only break on the cards. It’s a sheltered spot, fairly consistent, and it likes an east swell. The southerly swell we’re getting isn’t its ideal direction, so the waves will be a bit soft. The water temp is about 70°, which is about average for the time of year. Crowds are sometimes a factor here, so expect a few others in the water.
The best-looking window in this whole forecast is the morning of Tuesday the 4th of August. The swell drops a touch to 4ft from the south, but the call is for a light offshore wind from the west. That’s the magic word – offshore. It’ll groom the faces, making 'em clean and steep. The combined energy is still moderate at 166. It’s not a big day, but for North Pier, a clean, offshore morning with head-high-ish waves is about as good as it gets around here. That’s the one to circle.
After that, Thursday the 6th has a bit of swell in the morning, 2ft from the south, with a light offshore from the WNW. It’s small, but glassy clean. Friday the 7th afternoon has a 4ft south swell and clean conditions, but nothing exciting.
Beyond that, the second week fades back into small, choppy, cross-shore wind junk. The energy drops off into the double digits again. Not much to get excited about.
So, to sum it up: wait out the flat spell, and if you’re keen, the best bet is the offshore morning on Tuesday the 4th of August at North Pier.
Stay wet,
Rusty
