About Point Judith

Point Judith offers a more exposed, powerful surf experience than Rhode Island's protected beaches. The waves break with more force here, and the rocky coastline adds texture to the lineup. It's not for beginners—currents and cold water demand experience. When solid swell hits, Point Judith can produce some of the best waves in the state.

This Week's Outlook

Wednesday morning looks like the call with 7ft+ waves and decent 6-second intervals, even though that SW wind will be fighting you a bit. The size peaks then and should clean up by Thursday morning if you can handle dropping back to 6ft with lighter winds.
