Chesapeake Beach

Chesapeake Beach is an NE-facing beach break in Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States. It picks up swell from NE to E, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 79% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the SW: light winds or SW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while NE onshores chop it up.
