The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for North Pier in Narragansett. Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window, I gotta be straight with you—it's a tough stretch. The first proper surfable waves don't show up until Wednesday, July 22nd, and even then, it's a mixed bag. The energy is weak for most of the run, with the combined swell energy barely cracking 100 for the first few days. There's a lot of "poor surf conditions" in the logs, so patience is the name of the game.
The water temp is sitting at 69°F, which is bang on average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Alright, let's start with the best of the bunch. The standout is Wednesday morning, July 22nd at North Pier. We've got a solid S swell pushing 5ft, coming in with a moderate combined energy. The wind is a cross-off from the SW at 15 mph, which will keep the surface clean. The swell period is 8 seconds, so it's a bit of a short-period wind swell, but at this size, it'll offer some fun, punchy little waves. The afternoon pushes up to 6ft, with a strong combined energy, but the wind stays cross-off—still rideable, but those waves will be a bit more unruly.
Thursday, July 23rd, keeps the S swell around 4ft to 5ft with a period of 9 seconds, which is a touch longer. The morning has a light NNW cross-off at 9 mph, and the afternoon goes glassy with a SSW at 3 mph. The combined energy is still solid, and the waves are described as "surfable but very ordinary." That's about as good as it gets here for this run.
Now, after that, it drops off a cliff. From Friday, July 24th, right through to the end of the forecast on August 4th, the swell bottoms out to 0.7ft to 2ft, with weak energy and a lot of onshore or cross-onshore wind. The period is short, in the 4 to 8 second range, so it's just messy, wind-chopped slop. There's a brief spike on Tuesday morning, July 28th, with a 4ft S swell, but it's onshore wind from the ESE, so it'll be a bumpy mess. The same goes for Wednesday, July 29th, with a 4ft swell, but again, onshore wind and light rain. Not worth paddling out for.
Bottom line: If you're itching for a session, Wednesday morning, July 22nd, and Thursday, July 23rd, are your best bets. The swell is small but clean, and you'll find some rippable lines. Don't hold your breath for the rest of the window.
