The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about North Pier (Narragansett).
Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak swell and it’s just not offering much for a proper paddle session. The first real surf to speak of is a tiny pulse on Saturday morning, August 1st, with waves around 2ft from the south, but the energy is pitiful (70) and the period is a short 8 seconds. It’s basically a dribble. The wind is cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but you’ll be fighting for scraps. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We go through a few days of nothing worth paddling out for, with the swell dropping even further. Sunday and Monday stay small and messy. The best chance for a wave comes mid-week, on Monday afternoon, August 3rd, when we see a slight bump to 4ft from the south, with the combined energy climbing to 228. That’s the most energy we’ll see in the whole run, but the wind is cross-off and it’s still a short-period 8 seconds. It’s not gonna be a classic, but if you’re desperate, that’s your window. Still, the overall quality is poor.
After that, the bottom falls out. From Tuesday, August 4th, all the way through to Sunday, August 16th, we’re barely scraping together 3ft or less. The energy readings are mostly in the double digits, with lots of zeros. There’s a day on Tuesday, August 11th, with a clean 3ft from the south and a light offshore wind, but the energy is still low (98) and the period is short. It’s a tease. The best conditions we see are on Sunday, August 16th, with a glassy 2ft from the north, but the period is a laughable 3 seconds and the energy is only 16. That’s not surf, that’s a lake ripple.
Honestly, for a sheltered spot like North Pier, this is a tough run. There’s just no punch. The setup here is more interesting for a kite than a paddle during this stretch. Keep your hopes up – forecasts can change, and it doesn’t stay this flat forever.
