๐Ÿ“ Local Knowledge

First Beach in Rhode Island is a fairly exposed beach break that sees consistent surf and can be rideable year-round. It performs best with a southeast swell and offshore winds from the north. The beach offers both lefts and rights, with mid tideโ€”especially as it risesโ€”being the optimal time to catch waves. While it doesnโ€™t typically draw large crowds, surfers should be cautious of strong rips. Winter, especially March, is considered the best time to find clean, rideable waves at this spot.
