Frequently asked
Is Point Judith working right now?
As of the latest buoy reading (2026-10-05 18:30 UTC), Point Judith is off: the live 2–4 ft short-period swell from the SW is off its ideal S direction and is under its usual size, and the wind is strong from the W.
Is Point Judith good for beginners?
Point Judith is best suited to experienced surfers — it's most often good on larger 6 ft+ surf that breaks with more power than beginners should take on. Conditions change daily, so always check the live report on this page before paddling out.
What's the best tide for Point Judith?
Point Judith tends to be best on a high incoming tide — the tide stage LazySurfer surfers have rated highest here. Tide changes how the swell breaks, so check the two-day tide chart on this page for today's high and low times.
What swell direction is best for Point Judith?
The best swell direction for Point Judith is from the south (S). Swell arriving from the south lines up best with how this break faces, which is when LazySurfer surfers have rated it highest.
What's the best wind for Point Judith?
Point Judith is most often good with moderate wind from the north (N) — the wind LazySurfer surfers logged on their best-rated sessions here. Wind direction grooms or chops the wave face, so check the live report for current wind.
Where does LazySurfer's surf data for Point Judith come from?
LazySurfer reads public data directly from NOAA's National Data Buoy Center and the National Weather Service — the nearest NDBC wave buoy (station 44085) and the nearest NOAA tide station (NEW LONDON, State Pier). The same raw readings NOAA publishes, with no proprietary smoothing.
Does LazySurfer predict whether Point Judith is good for me?
Yes. LazySurfer trains a custom deep-learning model — a PyTorch neural network with per-user embeddings, retrained weekly on real logged surf sessions from the LazySurfer community — to predict the 1-to-5 star rating you personally would give, rather than a single average rating for everyone.
