Which way it faces

Worked out from which way the beach faces

76° east-northeast (ENE)

Swell that lines up: from 41° to 111° (NE to ESE), the dark blue wedge. Swell from up to 356° and 156° (N and SSE) can still reach the beach at an angle; outside that, it is blocked by Florida itself.

Offshore wind: from about 256° (west-southwest), the orange dashes. Wind from SSW through WNW 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 and the Bahamas, which block much of the east swell this far south. The sources below beat it where they disagree.
