Boynton Inlet

Boynton Inlet is an ENE-facing beach break in Palm Beach County, Florida, United States. It picks up swell from N to NE, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 81% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the WSW: light winds or WSW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while ENE onshores chop it up.

Rare slot: the Providence Channel lets in swell from 106° (ESE) and nothing either side. Hurricane Isabel, September 2003: swell ran through the Providence Channel onto a 10-mile stretch of coast and peaked at 14 ft at Delray Beach. How slot swells work
