The Lowdown
Alright, it's Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: this is a tough one. I've been staring at the charts for North Pier in Narragansett and it's a grim 16-day outlook. There's literally no surf on offer for the whole run. Not a single session that's even worth paddling out for. We're looking at a solid 16-day gap from Wednesday, August 5th right through to the end of the window on Thursday, August 20th, all with zero recommendations.
The main issue is the swell. It's just not showing up. The period on the tiny waves we do see is mostly short, between 5 and 8 seconds, which means it's weak, wind-driven junk. The combined energy is pathetically low, reading values like 55, 14, and 2 (weak energy). You're scraping for anything, and even the best of the poor conditions – like the glassy morning on Friday, August 14th with a light NW breeze at 3 mph – only has a tiny 2 ft of southern swell. It's clean, but there's nothing to ride.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, which is the only thing that's normal. This is a sheltered spot, and when there's no swell, there's no swell. Between the cross-offshore winds and the complete lack of wave energy, it's a dead period. Don't bother taking the shortboard out. Maybe a longboard for a flat-water paddle, but that's it. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a bust.
Rusty.
