The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me tell you about Narragansett’s North Pier. It’s a tough stretch ahead for the next 16 days.
First up, on Saturday the 25th, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the SE, but the wind is onshore at 12 mph, making for poor surf. That’s a no-go.
Sunday the 26th stays small, with 1ft swell and cross-onshore winds – just messy, poor conditions.
Monday the 27th morning offers a brief moment of hope with the wind going glassy, but the swell is only 1ft at a short 7 seconds. The waves are barely there.
From there, we hit a long, flat spell. Tuesday the 28th through Friday the 1st of August all show tiny swell, poor conditions, and nothing worth paddling for. It’s a blank run.
Now, things do get a little more interesting, but not for paddle surfing. Wednesday the 30th of July afternoon sees the swell bump up to 4ft from the ESE with a very short period of 5 seconds. The combined energy hits 204 (moderate wave energy), but with a heavy rain and strong onshore wind at 16 mph, the surf is choppy and blown out. This setup at a sheltered beach spot really looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The end of the first week and into the second week stays small and clean. Thursday the 31st of July morning has 3ft from the S, 8 seconds, with a cross-offshore wind. The waves are clean, but the quality is poor. This pattern of small, clean, but poor surf carries through the rest of the window.
Monday the 4th of August morning shows 3ft from the S, 8 seconds, with glassy conditions. Again, clean but small. The combined energy is 99 (weak wave energy).
The best I can point to is Monday afternoon the 4th of August. We get 3ft from the S (8 seconds) with a cross-offshore wind, clean waves, and a combined energy of 132 (moderate wave energy). It’s not a standout, but it’s the most energy we see all period. North Pier is a sheltered spot, so it needs a good angle, and this S swell is not it – the optimum direction is E. It’s a weak option.
Honestly, there’s no good surf on offer in this 16-day window. The consistency is low, and the swell is too small and from the wrong direction. It’s a frustrating run for Narragansett, but forecasts can change.
Rusty.
