Coquina Beach

Coquina Beach is an ENE-facing beach break in Dare County, North Carolina, United States. It picks up swell from NNE to SSE, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 41% 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.
