Do we think the waves are going to be rideable or just short period, messy stormswell? I've experienced both in the past when swellinfo's color has been "red."
for Rhode Island, you can get a forecast for the default (south facing breaks) and for the east facing breaks. The wind conditions will obviously be different for the varying beach facing directions. Rhode Island Surf Report - default page (south facing). Rhode Island Surf Report - east facing breaks. To switch between the two, just click on the S and E boxes at the top of the left hand text forecast.
