About This Spot

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.

Local Etiquette

Follow local rules, don't snake or drop in. Share waves and be patient.
