Windansea Beach

Windansea Beach is a W-facing reef break in La Jolla, California, United States. It picks up swell from S and SSW to W and WNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 53% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the E: light winds or E breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while W onshores chop it up.
