Joyce Beach

Joyce Beach is an SSE-facing beach break in Swan's Island, Maine, United States. It picks up swell from ESE to SSW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 59% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NNW: light winds or NNW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SSE onshores chop it up.
