The Lowdown
Alright, I’m Rusty, and I’ve got the lowdown on what we’re looking at for North Pier in Narragansett. Let’s get straight into it.
Honestly, mate, it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’ve got a 16-day window, and the surf is just plain flat for most of it. There’s a sniff of a pulse around the middle, but nothing that’s going to get your heart racing. We’re looking at tiny, weak energy for the vast majority of the outlook, with the combined swell energy barely climbing above 100 (moderate) on just a couple of occasions. The first real chance of anything rideable comes on Wednesday morning, July 29th, when we see a small SSE swell of 3 ft and a combined energy of 83 (weak). But it’s a short-period (5 seconds) windswell, and with a light rain and cross-onshore breeze, the conditions are going to be choppy and messy. Not worth getting out of bed for.
Thursday morning, July 30th, is the best of a bad bunch. We’ve got a 3 ft SSE swell, with a period stretching out to 9 seconds, so a bit more push there. The combined energy hits 116 (moderate). The key here is the wind: a moderate NNW cross-offshore breeze (12 mph) is blowing, which should keep the surface clean. It’s a beach break setup, so expect some peaky, workable little waves. For an intermediate surfer, this is the only window worth looking at. The water temp is sitting at 70°, which is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
From Friday, July 31st, onwards, we’re talking tiny surf. You’ll get some glassy conditions on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, with a light breeze and swell around 2 ft, but the wave energy is weak (between 52 and 54). It’s marginal at best and not recommended. After that, from the 2nd of August right through to the 12th of August, the swell drops to 2 ft and lower, with combined energy dropping into single digits. It’s a long, flat run. The wind does turn offshore a few times in that second week, particularly on the 10th of August morning with a W offshore breeze, but even then the swell is a pathetic 0.3 ft. There’s just no water moving.
So, to sum it up: set your alarm for Thursday morning, July 30th. It’s not going to be epic, but with clean conditions and a modest little knee-to-waist high runner, it’s your best shot. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off for a proper surf. We’ll have to hope for a change in the forecast.
