The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cookin' at North Pier in Narragansett.
To be straight with you, it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’ve got a long, long gap of flatness or rubbish surf to start this forecast. From today, Monday the 10th of August, all the way through to Sunday the 16th, it’s basically a write-off. You're looking at tiny dribbles, mostly around 0.3ft to 2ft with weak energy readings (mostly single digits, peaking at just 30) and short, weak periods. Even when the wind is offshore and clean, there’s just no swell to work with. It’s a classic summer lull for this sheltered south-facing spot.
We finally see a pulse of life on Monday the 17th of August in the afternoon. A 4ft south swell rolls in with a brief period, pushing the combined energy to 134 (moderate). It’s not going to be epic, and the wind is cross-off from the NW at 12 mph, which should keep it reasonably clean. Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th keep the surf rideable but small—around 2ft with moderate energy. The wind turns a bit tricky on Tuesday morning with a cross-shore chop.
The real standout, as far as it goes, is Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd. We’ve got a consistent 2ft south swell, but more importantly, the winds are light and variable, almost glassy. These are the cleanest, most user-friendly conditions of the whole outlook. The energy is still low (mid-30s to 40s), so don’t expect barrels, but for a longboard or a funboard, it’ll be the most pleasant paddle. Crowds are "sometimes" an issue here, so on those clean, small days, expect a few locals out enjoying the peace.
Later in the second week, on Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th of August, the swell bumps up again. Tuesday morning shows a 3ft south swell with a period of 8 seconds, pushing the energy into the moderate three-digit range at 109. However, the wind is onshore and fresh at 12 mph, so it will be choppy and bumpy. Not the sort of conditions that make you want to race to the water.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the clean, tiny days around the 22nd and 23rd are your best bet. For anything with more power, the afternoon of the 17th and the morning of the 25th have the most size, but the wind quality is a major caveat. It’s a quiet period.
Stay patient.
