K38/39 surf guide

K38/39, often referred to as "The Ks," is situated inside the breakwall of Point Judith Harbor of Refuge. It's known for being one of the longer left waves on the East Coast. The spot features two deep-water peaks that produce long, workable walls on the lefts and shorter, steeper rights at the more eastern take-off point of K39. While it can get some decent waves, the overall consistency is just average, so don't expect it to fire every session.

The best swell direction for K38/39 is from the south, with southeast and south swells also providing some options. This spot can handle swell sizes starting at around 3 feet (about 0.9 meters), breaking over boulders and creating both left and right waves. The lefts tend to be more favorable, but rights can also work, especially at K39. For the best conditions, low to mid tide is preferable, and you’ll want the wind coming from the north for the cleanest waves. It's a spot that suits beginners due to its generally mellow vibe, though there are no barrels here, even when it gets bigger.

Keep in mind that this area is busy due to it being the third-largest fishing port on the East Coast, which means you’ll find some motorized traffic, including jetskis, in the water. Since there’s no parking directly at the commercial port, your best bet is to park at the lighthouse and take a walk of nearly a mile along the breakwall. This can be a bit of a trek, so plan accordingly!
