SURF OUTLOOK
3-Day Surf Forecast for Rhode Island
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 2
3-4 feet PM / NNE winds
East windswell comes up Sunday from Hurricane Ian remnants. Fun surf in the water around the waist to stomach high range, possibly a bit bigger at top east facing breaks (especially late). Gusty north/northeast winds could be a problem for spots that have the most size.
MONDAY, OCTOBER 3
3-4 feet / NE winds
East windswell continues to kick off the week, picking up a bit. Waves around waist to chest high, bigger at east facing breaks that can pull in the most east windswell. Unfortunately NE winds will make those spots a bit unmanageable, so best bet is a grovel session at less exposed breaks.
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4
2-3 feet / NE winds
Lingering east windswell in the waist to stomach high zone. Hopefully a touch bigger if the swell has some south in it. Northeast winds continue all day
FURTHER OUT
Rideable surf continues through the middle of the week, tapering off into the weekend.
Not much swell in the water in the longer range outlook, but keeping an eye on a potential system towards the middle of the month.
Get your fix over the next several days!
