The Lowdown
Alright, let me look at what we’ve got for North Pier (Narragansett).
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim picture for the next couple of weeks. The water is running a bit colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 68°, so you’ll feel that chill if you’re paddling out.
The whole 16-day window is a real struggle. There’s a long stretch of nothing worth getting excited about. From Sunday the 2nd right through to Tuesday the 4th, it’s all poor surf with tiny, weak swell and cross-shore winds. You get a little bump on Monday morning with 6 ft but it’s from a short-period 7-second south swell, and the wind is howling at 22 mph with risk of thunderstorms – not a good combo unless you’re a glutton for punishment.
Tuesday morning the 4th is the closest thing to a highlight, and it’s still a modest one. Swell is 3 ft from the south at 8 seconds, and you get a clean offshore wind from the west at 6 mph. The combined energy is only 130 (moderate energy), so it’s surfable but very ordinary. This is a sheltered spot and the optimum swell direction is east, so the south swell isn’t ideal. If you’re desperate, you could get a few, but it’s not going to be memorable.
After that, it’s a total flat spell. From Wednesday the 5th right through to Sunday the 16th, the swell barely flickers. Most days have waves under 2 ft, and several days – like Thursday the 6th through Friday the 7th – show zero energy. There’s a brief moment on Saturday morning the 8th with 3 ft and light wind, but the energy is weak at 104, and it’s still just ordinary.
Even the glassy conditions on Wednesday morning the 12th with a long-period 15-second south swell only produce 0.3 ft – that’s just a long-period ripple, not a wave. For a beach break, that long period would just make it break too straight anyway.
Bottom line: there’s nothing here worth paddling out for. The whole 16 days is a bust. If you’ve got a kite, maybe the windy Monday with 6 ft could be more interesting for you, but for a surfboard, leave it at home.
