Today

Small-scale surf around knee high. SW winds build into the afternoon

Afternoon Outlook: More texture develops for the afternoon as SW/SSW winds build. A little more size may develop, but overall the surf remains quite poor.

First Beach Surf Guide

First Beach is a bit of a surf spot anomaly for Rhode Island in that it faces more of an easterly direction, thus missing S swell action but picking up better swells from other directions. In reality, First Beach is a less-defined beachbreak, often closing out. But it is great for beginners, since its constant slow rollers have a low intimidation factor.
