Horseneck Beach

Horseneck Beach is an S-facing beach break in Westport, Massachusetts, United States. It picks up swell from SE to SW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 63% 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 131.2° (SE) and nothing either side. It only lines up when a storm sits in that exact direction, more than 32 km out. How slot swells work
