Monahan's Dock is a lesser-known Rhode Island surf spot tucked along the western-facing shoreline near Narragansett Bay, picking up south and southwest swells that wrap into the area. The cobblestone and rocky bottom helps shape peaky, punchy waves that reward surfers willing to time their sessions around the right tide and swell window. Its relatively remote character and inconsistent surf keep crowds thin, making it a rewarding find for Rhode Island surfers looking to escape the busier breaks along the coast.
