Zeebrugge

Zeebrugge is an NNW-facing beach break in West Flanders, Belgium. It picks up swell from NNW to NNE, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 71% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the SSE: light winds or SSE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while NNW onshores chop it up.

Rare slot: the English Channel lets in swell from 249.2° (WSW) and nothing either side. It only lines up when a storm sits in that exact direction, more than 420 km out. How slot swells work
