Spot guide
Quoquasset Inlet is an SE-facing beach break in Newport County, Rhode Island, United States. It picks up swell from SE to SW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 59% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NW: light winds or NW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SE onshores chop it up.
Rare slot: an island gap lets in swell from 122° (ESE) and nothing either side. It only lines up when a storm sits in that exact direction, more than 34 km out. How slot swells work
