Matunuck
Edit SpotAbout
Its a good spot at higher mid tide if you have an offshore breeze.
Atmosphere:
Sometimes it's just too crowded on the weekends even though it will have the best waves in the area
Additional Info:
Just dont drop in on any locals cause they're all really cool surfers and if you just wait your turn you will get respect.
There are 3 point breaks here starting at the fishing parking lot and going West to in front of the bar. Waves can start to get hollow when a hurricane swell is comming in 10ft+ Watch the rocks at lower tides. Nice rip when it's bigger.
