Exposure

Exposed to wind from the north-north-east through the south-south-east (30° to 150°) and to swell from the north-north-east through the south-south-east (20° to 160°). Sheltered from the N, S, SW, W, NW. Easterly trade swell is the normal state, so thresholds here are a little more tolerant; operators pick the sheltered corner by wind direction.
