Playa Grande

Playa Grande is an N-facing beach break in Vieques, Puerto Rico. It picks up swell from E and E to ESE and NW to NNE, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 68% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the S: light winds or S breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while N onshores chop it up.
