The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. The surf forecast for North Pier (Narragansett) for the next 16 days is mostly a big dud. We’ve got a long gap of nothing right at the start. The first thing worth paddling out for doesn't pop up until Wednesday, July 22nd.
For the first couple of days, Monday and Tuesday, it’s flat. We’re talking 0.3ft to 2ft of junky energy. Save your gas.
On Wednesday, July 22nd, we get a little spike. A south swell builds to about 6ft with a 9-second period. The combined energy ticks up to a moderate (486). A clean cross-offshore wind out of the southwest will keep the surface smooth. But here’s the thing: the swell is coming from the south, and this break works best with east swell. It’s just not going to wrap in with much power. The report says it’s marginal. It’s the best we’ve got, but it’s not great.
Thursday the 23rd drops to around 4ft with light cross-offshore breezes. It’s rideable, but very ordinary. You’ll catch a few weak ones.
From Friday the 24th all the way through to Tuesday, August 4th, we’re back to flatness. Waves are consistently under 3ft, with no push. The wind stays clean a lot of the time, but there’s just no swell to push it. For most of this run, it’s so weak and blown out that it’s honestly a better bet for a kiteboard than a surfboard.
No standout sessions here. The water temp is nothing special for the season. The only window is that Wednesday bump, and even that’s a gamble. Stick to the lake if you want to get wet.
