The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next stretch for North Pier in Narragansett. This one’s a tough read, folks. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a bust, to be honest. There’s a big gap right at the start with nothin’ worth paddling out for, and it pretty much stays that way.
The first real chance to even talk about waves comes on Thursday the 23rd of July, but even then, it’s underwhelming. The swell is coming from the south at 4ft, but the period is a short 9 seconds, and the wind is cross-onshore from the northeast. The combined energy is only moderate at 214, so it’ll be a bit messy. That’s not a standout, just the first hint of something.
Honestly, the whole outlook is a series of poor surf conditions. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-shore, and the swell is tiny. You’ve got a few afternoons around the 30th of July and 1st of August where the wind goes clean – like the 30th afternoon with a cross-offshore from the SSW and 4ft of south swell, or the 1st of August morning with glassy conditions and 3ft of south swell. The energy is still low, though, around 100-198. These are the closest you’ll get to a fun session, but it’s not a standout.
The one day that really catches my eye is Wednesday the 29th of July, in the morning. We’ve got North Pier (Narragansett) with a south swell of 2ft and an 8-second period, but the wind is glassy – dead calm. That’s a major positive. The combined energy is weak at 64, but if you’re desperate for a clean, small-wave session with no crowds, that’s your window. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no wetsuit drama there.
Other than that, the swell is consistently below 3ft, the period is short, and the wind is rarely your friend. The breaks are sheltered here, so we don’t get much push. If you’re a kiter, that afternoon on the 30th with 4ft and a cross-off breeze might look interesting, but for paddle surfing, it’s a tough run.
So, the best on offer is that glassy morning on the 29th of July, but it’s a small wave day. The rest of the forecast is a long stretch of flat or poor-quality surf. It’s one of those times where you just have to wait for the next system.
Rusty.
