Unlike normal conditions when you can watch a spot for 10 minutes to see what to expect - these waves are UNPREDICTABLE. I highly recommend staying away from the open surf areas - if you still want to fish duck into the salt ponds or well inside Narragansett Bay/Sakonnet River. Maybe the big ditch.
I was out on the Bay early this AM. Nothing unusual but I was N of Prudence. NE wind made it "lumpy" around Warwick Light and the gut in front of Conimicut but nothing I hadn't seen before. I'm sure tomorrow will be a different story.

No boat, back in the suds.
