Long Beach

Long Beach is an S-facing beach break in Oak Island, North Carolina, United States. It picks up swell from ESE to SSW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 57% 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.
