At the end of Ruggles Ave. a series of reefs line a point in the rocky coastline. Regular Ruggles is The Point, Bobbies and Stupid Spot in the middle, and Around the Corner at the end. All are rights except for a short left off The Point in a SW swell. A quality wave in large swells when it can link up long and strong without being really hollow. A SE swell hits dead on, but lower tides with NW winds are needed for Ruggles to live up to its reputation.
Parking in this historic, tourist-trampled neighborhood is the main hazard. There are a few side streets some distance from the break, which are plausible in winter. Average consistency along with above-average crowds and currents.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
