The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight up: North Pier (Narragansett) is looking pretty flat and ordinary for the next couple of weeks. The boys at the desk have been staring at charts and it’s a tough one – there just isn’t any proper surf on offer throughout the whole 16-day window.
We start off from Wednesday the 15th with nothing but a tiny 0.3 ft of south-east swell, clean enough with a light westerly offshore but honestly you’d be scratching. That dead stretch runs right through until Sunday the 19th – zero surf, just 0.3 ft dribble. Then on Monday the 20th we finally get a puff of life: a 3 ft south swell with a 9-second period, pushing 164 units of energy (moderate), and a light south-west wind keeps it clean. But it’s only “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – small, weak, and inconsistent. Water temp is sitting around 71°F, about normal for this time of year, so that’s not helping.
Tuesday the 21st offers a similar story: 4 ft south swell, period dropping to 8 seconds, energy 161, but the wind is cross-offshore and the whole thing is still poor. Wednesday the 22nd has 4 ft south swell at 9 seconds, energy 185, but winds are cross-shore with chop, so no joy. After that the swell fades again – tiny 2 ft to 1 ft for the rest of the week and into the weekend of the 26th.
There’s a brief glimmer on Sunday the 26th afternoon and Monday the 27th morning, with 3 ft south swell, 7-9 seconds, and a gentle offshore wind – energy around 120-143, so moderate. But again, it’s only “very ordinary”. By Tuesday the 28th it’s back to small 2 ft with light cross-onshore wind.
To be honest, there’s no standout session here – not a single morning or afternoon that I’d recommend paddling out for. The swell direction is mostly south, which isn’t the optimum east that North Pier really wants. The break is sheltered and fairly consistent but when the swell is this tiny and the wind’s not aligned, it’s just not happening.
If you’re desperate, maybe Monday the 27th morning might give you a few soft peelers, but don’t get your hopes up. This stretch is looking like a washout. Keep an eye on the forecasts – it tends not to stay this poor for long around here, but right now it’s a skip.
Stay salty,
Rusty
