Balneario Público de Humacao

Balneario Público de Humacao is an SE-facing beach break in Barriada Obrera, Puerto Rico. It picks up swell from SE and SE to SW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 59% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NW: light winds or NW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SE onshores chop it up.

Rare slot: the Anegada Passage lets in swell from 80.5° (E) and nothing either side. It only lines up when a storm sits in that exact direction, more than 110 km out. How slot swells work
