Which way it faces
Worked out from which way the beach faces
115° east-southeast (ESE)
Swell that lines up: from 80° to 150° (E to SSE), the dark blue wedge. Swell from up to 35° and 195° (NE and SSW) can still reach the beach at an angle; outside that, it is blocked by Florida itself.
Offshore wind: from about 295° (west-northwest), the orange dashes. Wind from WSW through NNW blows off the land.
This is geometry, not local knowledge: the seaward direction of the OpenStreetMap coastline next to the spot (this way), checked 2026-11-03. It ignores sandbars, jetties, shoals, islands. The sources below beat it where they disagree.
