Black Rock Beach

Black Rock Beach is an S-facing beach break in South County, Rhode Island, United States. It picks up swell from E to SW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 40% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the N: light winds or N breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while S onshores chop it up.
