Siesta Key Beach

Siesta Key Beach is a WSW-facing beach break in Sarasota, Florida, United States. It picks up swell from SSW to NW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 54% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the ENE: light winds or ENE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while WSW onshores chop it up.
