Surfing Point Judith, Rhode Island

Point Judith
From a distance, this looks like a quintessential New England pointbreak. Upon closer examination, it reveals itself as a collection of smaller breaks that sometimes connect in sections. Beach access is difficult and rocky. Rocks in the impact zone are covered with barnacles, and there is no lineup paddling channel. Larger swell here causes strong rip currents and wields board-snapping power. The south side has a danger zone where surfers can become pinned in a rocky corner by the current and surf. Crowds here are prevalent during the summer and lessen in the off-season. Ideal conditions are WNW winds combined with a SSE swell direction.at a mid incoming tide.
