Rudee Inlet

Rudee Inlet is an E-facing beach break in Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States. It picks up swell from NE to SSE, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 46% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the W: light winds or W breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while E onshores chop it up.
