Highland Beach

Highland Beach is a WSW-facing beach break in Monroe County, Florida, United States. It picks up swell from SW to WSW and WSW to NW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 63% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the ENE: light winds or ENE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while WSW onshores chop it up.
