Lighthouse-Southside Surf Report & Forecast

Local Knowledge

Lighthouse-Southside in Rhode Island is an exposed reef and point break that offers reliable waves year-round, with a left-hand point break that works best on a rising mid tide. It handles both groundswells and windswells, with the ideal conditions occurring when a south swell meets offshore winds from the northeast. The spot is rarely crowded, offering a more relaxed session, but surfers should be cautious of rocks and rips. Summer, particularly September, tends to provide the most consistent and clean surf.
