Sanibel Island

Sanibel Island is an SSW-facing beach break in Sanibel, Florida, United States. It picks up swell from SSW to NW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 59% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NNE: light winds or NNE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SSW onshores chop it up.
