The E and ENE swell sectors dominate with 24.5% and 17.9% of the distributions, and NE swell adds another 14.3%, keeping a steady supply of northeast groundswell generated by Nor'easters further up the coast. The wind is ideal 24% of the time, with the most frequent directions being NNW (9.9%), WNW (6.7%) and NW (6.7%). These are prime cross-offshore angles for an east-north-east facing beach.
