Bass River Beach

Bass River Beach is an SE-facing beach break in Yarmouth, Massachusetts, United States. It picks up swell from SE to SSE, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 79% 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: an island gap lets in swell from 96.8° (E) and nothing either side. It only lines up when a storm sits in that exact direction, more than 16 km out. How slot swells work
