The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, this stretch is a tough one. North Pier (Narragansett) is a sheltered little spot, and right now it’s feeling that protection a little too much. We’re lookin’ at a long, quiet run with no real swell to get excited about. The entire 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for any decent waves. There are some days with a bit of energy, but the quality just isn’t there for a proper surf.

The best of a bad bunch is Monday, the 3rd of August. We’ve got a south swell pushin’ in at 4 ft to 5 ft, coming from the S with a period of 7 to 8 seconds. That’s a short-period, windswell-type deal. It’s not gonna have any real grunt or shape, but the combined energy climbs to 150 and 246 (moderate) which is the most we’ll see. The wind is swinging out of the SW, which is cross-offshore here, so the surface will be clean. The water temp is about average for this time of year. It’s not great, but it’s the only window where you might grab a few small, crumbly ones. It’s still poor surf conditions though, so keep expectations in the gutter.

After that, it’s a sad slide. Tuesday the 4th has a little waist-high slop with onshore wind, and then from Wednesday the 5th onward it’s just ankle-biters and flat spells. You’ll see a few days in the second week, like Saturday the 8th with glassy conditions, but the swell is a pathetic 2 ft to 2 ft and the energy is barely 46 (weak). The waves just won’t have any push. There are several gaps of 2 to 3 days with absolutely nothing rideable.

Honestly, this is one of those stretches where the board stays in the car. The consistent lack of quality is pretty normal for a sheltered spot like this when the swell direction isn’t locked in. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a flat spell.

Rusty.
