Which way it faces
Worked out from which way the beach faces
66° east-northeast (ENE)
Swell that lines up: from 31° to 101° (NNE to E), the dark blue wedge. Swell from up to 346° and 146° (NNW and SE) can still reach the beach at an angle; outside that, it is blocked by Florida itself.
Offshore wind: from about 246° (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. The sources below beat it where they disagree.
