The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a pretty dismal outlook for North Pier (Narragansett). We're looking at a 16-day window with very little action. The first few days are a total bust, with poor surf conditions and almost no swell energy through Tuesday morning.
There's one tiny glimmer on Thursday morning, the 30th of July. The wind shifts to a light cross-offshore from the WSW, cleaning things up nicely. The swell is a meager 1.0ft from the South, with a 9-second period that gives it a little bit of shape. The combined energy is a weak (133), so it's not going to be anything to write home about, but it's the only time the stars align for a bit of a splash. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year.
After that, it's game over. The wind goes all wrong, the swell disappears, and we face a long stretch from the 31st of July through the 12th of August where the combined energy barely registers. A proper flat spell.
So, if you're dying to get wet, that Thursday morning is your best bet. Grab a longboard and keep your hopes low. Otherwise, it's a good time to take a break and wait for a better forecast.
Rusty.
