Blue Beach

Blue Beach is an SSE-facing beach break in Puerto Ferro, Puerto Rico. It picks up swell from ENE to E and SE and SE to WSW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 38% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NNW: light winds or NNW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SSE onshores chop it up.

Rare slot: a gap beside Lesser Antilles lets in swell from 110.5° (ESE) and nothing either side. It only lines up when a storm sits in that exact direction, more than 314 km out. How slot swells work
