Newport's 54th Street is a high-performance beach break created by man-made jetties. It offers peaky lefts and rights over a sandy bottom and attracts some of the best local surfers. The wave works on most tides but is best at mid tide and can get very crowded. Mid tide, light E wind, 3–6 ft W–SW swell. Position near the jetties for the most consistent peaks. Look for wedging right/left peaks that reform and allow for turns and airs.
Follow local rules, don't snake or drop in. Share waves and be patient.
