The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks at North Pier in Narragansett.
Honestly, there’s a long stretch of flat, poor conditions ahead. The only real chance to get wet is during a short window mid-week, and that’s where your focus should be.
The water is about 69°, which is normal for the season, so no surprises there.
We’ve got a few days of nothing. Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th are tiny and weak. The wait ends on Tuesday the 22nd of July. That morning, the swell comes up to 5ft from the S, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is 305 (moderate). The wind is cross-offshore from the SW at 15 mph, keeping it clean. By the afternoon, the swell bumps to 6ft, energy jumps to 502 (strong), and it’s still clean. This is the best of the bunch. The period is short, so it’s not going to be a long-wave paradise, but it’ll be punchy and fun.
Thursday the 23rd of July morning is your second option. Swell is 5ft from the S, period at 10 seconds, with 407 energy (moderate to strong). The wind is offshore from the WNW at 12 mph, so it’s clean. The longer period helps the shape a little, but it’s still a short-period swell overall.
After Thursday, it’s all downhill. Friday the 24th is tiny and glassy but only 3ft. From there, it’s small, poor, or onshore chop through the rest of the month. The start of August is a total washout. Wednesday the 29th of July shows a little 4ft bump from the S, but it’s weak and not worth getting excited about.
Bottom line: aim for the afternoon of Tuesday the 22nd or the morning of Thursday the 23rd. That’s your only real surf. The rest is a flat spell.
Rusty.
