A term used to describe how breaks within a region will pick up an incoming swell relative to whether they face the incoming swell or not.

Now if we have a incoming S swell: Break #1 would be the best-exposed, #2 would be partially exposed and would most likely be consider average, it would get enough energy to break but not as much as the first beach. Break #3 would be facing away from the swell and would not break.
