Point Judith, Rhode Island Surf & Weather Report
Monday, August 24, 2026 — 8:36 AM EDT
1. Current Surf & Swell
- Surf: Around 3–4 feet, roughly waist to chest high for an average adult, with occasional larger waves possible. NOAA's nearby Block Island buoy 44097 recently reported 4.3-foot seas, with a 1.0-foot SE swell at 11.8 seconds and stronger SSE wind waves at 6.7 seconds. The latest accessible CDIP Station 160 data show 2.09-foot significant waves at 4.35 seconds from 153°. Station 160 is actually Jeffreys Ledge, New Hampshire, rather than Point Judith, so the nearby NOAA buoy is more representative of local conditions.
2. Current Weather
- Weather: Sunny this morning with southwest winds around 5–10 mph. High temperatures should reach the mid 70s. NOAA/NWS places the Point Judith area at a moderate rip-current risk today, with water temperatures in the lower 70s.
3. Today's Tides
- Tides at Point Judith Harbor: High tide was about 5:38–6:03 AM at approximately 2.5 feet. Low tide is around 11:41–11:56 AM near 0.6–0.7 feet. The next high tide is around 6:01 PM at approximately 3.1 feet. Tide timing varies slightly among NOAA-based tide predictions.
4. Later Today & Tomorrow
- Later today: Sunny with southwest winds 5–10 mph and surf remaining near 3–4 feet. Tonight, seas remain 2–3 feet with a southerly swell around 2 feet at 7 seconds. Tuesday: Sunny with west winds 5–10 mph, increasing to southwest 10–15 mph during the afternoon. Surf should remain around 3–4 feet, with a south swell near 3 feet at 6 seconds.
Overall: Expect moderate-sized surf with the best wave energy coming from the southeast to south. Conditions should remain rideable, but the short-period wind-wave component may make the surf somewhat uneven.
