The Lowdown
Alright, here’s the rundown for North Pier (Narragansett). The water is sitting at 74°, which feels a touch warmer than usual for the season.
To be honest, it’s a rough stretch for the next week or so. We’re looking at a big dry spell from now until about August 21st with barely a ripple. The swell energy is weak, mostly reading under 30. There are a few days with clean wind but the waves are just too small to bother with.
Things perk up a little on Friday, August 21st, with the first real pulse of SSE swell at 3 ft. The morning is clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the period is a short 5 seconds – not much power.
The real window to watch is from August 22nd through the 24th. Saturday, August 22nd, serves up consistent 2 ft S swell with clean conditions and a moderate cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy hits 47–51 (moderate energy). Sunday the 23rd has similar 2 ft S swell, but the wind is a fresh breeze, still cross-offshore, though it’s blowing stronger. The standout day is Monday, August 24th. The morning starts with a nice NW offshore wind at 6 mph and 2 ft S swell. By the afternoon, the wind shifts to WSW at 6 mph, staying offshore, with the same 2 ft swell and an energy reading of 36 (moderate energy). For North Pier, that offshore flow turns a small day into a fun one. Not a big wave day, but clean and rideable for intermediate surfers. Expect a few other folks out there on a day like this, but compared to the rest of the outlook, this is your best chance.
