Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at our local stretch here. To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat. There’s really no surf to get excited about on the immediate horizon, and not a single day in the 16-day window has any meaningful wave energy. The whole run is a bit of a dud for us.
The first spot we’d normally look at is North Pier (Narragansett). It’s a fairly consistent break, sheltered from the main swell, and it needs a good easterly direction to really work. But the data just isn’t there. The first few days, from Wednesday the 8th up through the weekend, we’re looking at tiny, weak swell – nothing over 2ft. The combined energy is laughable, barely cracking 50 (13 to 54). Winds are mostly cross or cross-off, which would keep it clean, but with no height or power, it’s just not worth paddling out for.
The following week, from the 14th of July onwards, stays stubbornly small. We see a couple of spikes in the combined energy on the 16th and 18th, hitting 68 and 82 respectively, but the swell heights are still only 2ft. That’s knee-high at best. The winds on the 18th look clean, with a light cross-off breeze, but the waves just don’t have the size or period to offer any sort of ride. The 19th sees a long-period 13-second swell, but it’s only 0.3ft – that’s a ghost swell.
The 23rd of July is the last day in the window, and we’re still looking at a 1ft, 4-second period windswell. It’s a total flat spell. For this area, a blank run like this isn’t that unusual, but it’s still a bummer. Forecasts can change, and we’re always hoping for a pulse, but right now, it’s a long stretch of nothing.
Rusty.
