Ruggles Surf Break is Threatened
- The famous Ruggles surf spot in Newport is threatened by a proposed project to re-armor and repair the city’s 3.5-mile Cliff Walk. A public notice filed on March 5th by Rhode Island’s CRMC outlines the “proposed emergency repairs.” The proposed project begins at The Breakers at Ruggles Avenue and continues to Bailey’s Beach at Bellevue Avenue and includes slope protection measures and repairs to structural walls. Most concerning for surfers, however, is the CRMC’s desire to install permanent armor stone fill below the mean high water elevation at three different spots along the Cliff Walk.
