2nd Beach Rhode Island

Elbow Ledge
Elbow Ledge is a rocky reef break located about 2 miles from Sachuest Point in Newport. This is known as a fickle big wave spot when surf exceeds double overhead. It needs a solid SE storm swell in order to work properly. Second Beach (Sachuest) is an exposed beach and point break that works conistently year-round. This spot offers both lefts and rights along with a left point. Waves tend to break well through all tidal phases. Crowding is usually not an issue, even during a solid swell. Ideal conditions consist of N winds and a SE swell direction. Beware of rip currents - they are prevalent here.
