Spot guide
Charlestown Beach is an SSE-facing beach break in South County, Rhode Island, United States. It picks up swell from E to SE and S to SSW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 64% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NNW: light winds or NNW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SSE onshores chop it up.
