Wachapreague Inlet

Wachapreague Inlet is an ESE-facing beach break in Accomack County, Virginia, United States. It picks up swell from NE to S, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 42% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the WNW: light winds or WNW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while ESE onshores chop it up.
