Haigis Beach

Haigis Beach is an S-facing beach break in Dennis, Massachusetts, United States. It picks up swell from SSW to SW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 80% 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 97.5° (E) and nothing either side. It only lines up when a storm sits in that exact direction, more than 14 km out. How slot swells work
