Narragansett Town Beach
IntermediateNarragansett Town Beach faces southeast and offers consistent beach‑break waves that tend to close out. It performs best on 4–6 ft swells with 10‑second periods and northwest winds; hazards include a sunken barge and old pier near the North Pavilion that become exposed at low tide.
Point Judith
AdvancedPoint Judith is a classic right‑hand point break at Rhode Island's southern tip. A series of reefs produces fast, hollow right walls on south‑to‑southeast swells, but the rocky entry and strong currents mean it's for experienced surfers only.
