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.
