Opal Beach

Opal Beach is an S-facing beach break in Escambia County, Florida, United States. It picks up swell from SE to SW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 54% 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.
