Fenway Beach

Fenway Beach is an S-facing beach break in Westerly, Rhode Island, United States. It picks up swell from SE to SSW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 71% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the N: light winds or N breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while S onshores chop it up.

Rare slot: an island gap lets in swell from 102° (ESE) and nothing either side. It only lines up when a storm sits in that exact direction, more than 78 km out. How slot swells work
