Clearwater Beach

Clearwater Beach is a W-facing beach break in Clearwater, Florida, United States. It picks up swell from SSW to WNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 55% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the E: light winds or E breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while W onshores chop it up.
