Town Beach, Narragansett RI


I paddled out yesterday at Town Beach in Narragansett. The weather was pretty decent, sunny with highs right around 50. The wind was offshore and pretty strong, probably blowing about 15-25 knots out of the west north-west. I parked in the second parking lot, just north of the main lot by the intersection. Right out front of the beach club there is a sunken barge so I ended up just right of it (to the south). The set waves were rolling through at about waist to chest high, although only a few reached that height. It seems that once the waves get any bigger than this everything starts closing out and narragansett is home of the 2 second right (bottom turn and eat the lip). Luckily (and surprisingly) the shoulders were holding up and I found a little right about 100 feet south of the barge that peeled up and past it so there was no real danger of hitting it or getting entangled in whatever the hell surrounds it. Overall it was fun to just be out there (the last time I was out was in Daytona) and it was hard to complain about the weather or the air temperature.
