SURF OUTLOOK
3-Day Surf Forecast for Rhode Island
SATURDAY, JULY 24
0-1 feet / Light variable wind
Flat to knee high surf continues into the weekend, barely enough for the longboards at top spots. Could see a minor SE swell start to filter in late, but still micro. Variable winds
SUNDAY, JULY 25
1-2 feet / WSW winds
A new frontal system pushes thru the area Sunday, with building SSW windswell expected late. Unfortunately most of the day will be in the knee high range, with potential for a thigh high wave or two just before dark. Moderate SW winds
MONDAY, JULY 26
1-3 feet / WSW winds
Fun little windswell develops overnight into Monday morning, with surf around the knee to waist high zone early, dropping out quick throughout the day. Should be some fun moments for the longer boards. Winds are light west/southwest
FURTHER OUT
This is another one of those short lived wind swells, dropping over the day and totally flat into Tuesday.
Small SE swell continues into the middle of the week, but stays in that 1' range.
The rest of next week isn't looking so hot, with a possible knee high windswell popping up late in the week.. but not looking too special at this point.
Stay tuned
