Central Beach

Central Beach is an SW-facing beach break in Coronado, California, United States. It picks up swell from SSE to S and S to SSW and SSW to W, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 54% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NE: light winds or NE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SW onshores chop it up.
