What's up, crew? Rusty here. We're looking at our local spot, North Pier (Narragansett), and I gotta be honest – the next couple of weeks are a bummer. There's a long drought of decent waves.
The combined wave energy is almost always weak, with the best reading hitting 253 (moderate energy) but paired with messy conditions. The water's sitting at 71°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but it won't matter with barely a ripple.
Starting on Saturday, July 4th, we get a clean offshore breeze but on a pathetic 0.3ft Southeast swell. It's a zero – flat. Sunday is equally poor with light cross-onshore winds on a tiny 1ft swell. This flat spell drags through Monday the 6th, where we see a bump to 3ft, but it's sloppy onshore wind with moderate breeze and only 39 of weak energy.
Tuesday the 7th is the closest we get to anything. There's a 4ft ESE swell, but it's blown out with a fresh cross-onshore breeze at 19 mph and moderate rain. The energy hits 253, moderate, but the quality is completely wrecked. That setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing with that wind.
From there it's another long lull. The rest of the forecast through Sunday, July 19th is a parade of tiny swell – 2ft, 1ft, 1ft – with cross-shore and onshore winds. There's a moment on Wednesday morning, July 15th, when the wind goes glassy, but the swell is only 1ft. Pretty as a pond, but unrideable.
There is no true standout in this whole 16-day window. North Pier is a sheltered spot, and these long flat spells are more normal for this area. Hang in there, forecasts can change. Leave the board in the shed for now.
Rusty.
