Old Orchard Beach

Old Orchard Beach is an ESE-facing beach break in Maine, United States. It picks up swell from E to S, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 65% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the WNW: light winds or WNW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while ESE onshores chop it up.
