Fort Island Beach

Fort Island Beach is an SW-facing beach break in Citrus County, Florida, United States. It picks up swell from SSW to WNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 62% 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.
