Alright, Rusty here again, same story for the crew using feet and miles. Let’s talk about the next 16 days at North Pier in Narragansett. It’s a real bummer, folks. The forecast is a long, flat stretch with very little to get excited about for paddle surfing.
We’re looking at a full week of nothing. From Wednesday, July 8th, all the way to Wednesday, July 15th, the swell barely gets to 2 feet, and the wave energy is in the weak range. The wind isn’t always terrible, but the swell just isn’t there.
The one day that might offer a little something is Thursday, July 16th. We’ll see a bump up to about 3 feet of south swell, with a period of 7 seconds. The energy climbs to 72, which is still moderate but the best we’ll see. The wind is your friend here: a light offshore breeze from the west at about 6 mph in the morning, keeping things clean. The afternoon also stays clean with a light cross-offshore wind. It’s tiny, but it’s the only window worth paddling out for.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. Friday, July 17th gives us 2 feet, but it’s a step down. The glassy mornings on Saturday, July 18th, and Sunday, July 19th, are there for the true longboarders, but the energy is almost nothing (8 to 11). The final days from July 20th to the 23rd are more of the same: tiny, weak swells.
For this area, a flat spell like this is pretty normal. The water temperature on July 8th was about 71°F, which is a touch warmer than average, so the water won’t be a shock at least.
If you’re itching for a surf, Thursday, July 16th, is the only day with a pulse. That 3-foot south swell with clean offshore morning wind is your best shot. Otherwise, leave the boards at home and watch the tide come in.
Rusty.
