Jacksonville Beach

Jacksonville Beach is an E-facing beach break in St. Augustine & Jacksonville, Florida, United States. It picks up swell from NE to SE, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 59% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the W: light winds or W breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while E onshores chop it up.
