Surf Break: North Pier (Narragansett)

North Pier(Narragansett) in Rhode Island is a sheltered beach break that has fairly consistent surf and can work at any time of the year. Works best in offshore winds from the west with some shelter here from northeast winds. Groundswells and windswells are equally likely and the ideal swell angle is from the east. The beach break provides left and right handers. Best around low tide. When the surf is up, it can get quite busy in the water. Watch out for dangerous rips.
