The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here from Narragansett. The outlook for North Pier is pretty grim. We're staring down a long, flat run over the next couple weeks, and there's just no real surf on the table.
The whole pattern is one of a drawn-out flat spell. It starts with nothing on the 29th, and it doesn't get much better. The only thing close to a surfable moment is on the morning of the 30th of July. We've got a tiny 3ft swell from the SSE, with a period of just 8 seconds. The wind is light out of the NNW, giving us a clean, cross-off surface. The wave energy is weak, so you're looking at small, marginal waves. It's a longboard-only affair if you're really itching to get wet.
From the 31st of July straight through to the 13th of August, it's a total bust. Swell heights stay under 2ft, mostly dropping to 1ft or less. Periods are short, under 9 seconds, and the wave energy is almost non-existent, often hitting single digits. The wind does cooperate on a few days—like the morning of the 4th of August with a strong 15 mph offshore from the WNW—but with no swell to push, it's just clean, flat water. That morning is the cleanest it'll be, but with only 2ft on a short period, it's a non-event.
This kind of a blank run is unusual for the area, but it's what we've got. North Pier is sheltered and needs the right angle, and nothing's coming together. Let's hope the charts change soon.
Rusty.
