Lighthouse at Point Judith is one of Rhode Island's most iconic surf breaks, wrapping powerful Atlantic swells around the rocky headland at the southern tip of the state to produce long, peeling waves with real punch. The spot faces NNE, meaning it picks up a wide range of S to SE groundswells that funnel up the Rhode Island coast, and fall hurricane season delivers some of its best and most consistent surf. The historic Point Judith Lighthouse adds a dramatic backdrop, and the exposed geography here means the ocean rarely goes completely flat during the colder months.
