    I always loved the Wall (or Fox Point). Not quite a flooded with the clueless beginner as Narragansett and not quite as localized as Point Judith - although Judith is a really nice wave. I used to surf on the south side of the lighthouse (the left), which we dubbed "Excalibur" because you had to avoid this one section that had all this rebar sticking out of huge chunks of concrete. The river mouth at Ogunquit can get just SICK.

    I live in Narragansett for almost 2 years while my wife went to grad school at URI and the left at Pt. J was one of my favorite waves being goofy. Seriously days in the summer where the right handers would be mobbed and my buddy and I would surf South Side with no 2 other people.

    Ireland has become some exotic holiday destination for touring types of surfers and with the huge growth in surfing our local known spots are all busy, but there are loads of less well known places harder to get to which are still empty. I think the fact it rain 263 days a year will help maintain this isolation of a desolate place. 3 degrees with a stiff northwesterly this morning, planning a sheltered spot for the afternoons surf, Dom or SP is looking strong potentially.

    Slater gets a welcome back at Ours... http://www.swellnet.com.au/galleries...t/images/80980

    One of our famous spots that I've never surfed! I've surfed Shark Island which can be mechanical and consistent but Ours is just one of those places which will warp at any time. There is nothing easy about Ours getting in and out of the water is difficult and you'd better be sure of the timing of the sets! Decades ago as a teen I used to just go and sit on the rocks and watch big swells roll through when everywhere was out of control and think it looked surfable but the Outside wave just passed too close to the rock platform and yet years later here they all are. Although the waves on Thursday were at Inside Ours but not quite as daunting until you have to get out of the water.
    Jesus is coming, look busy!
