12th Street Jetty is a popular surf spot located along the coastline that sees a fair amount of action from both surfers and beachgoers. The area can get crowded, especially during the day when people are out enjoying the beach. The spot can be a suitable choice for surfers looking for some fun waves, although it's not the most epic location around.

This spot is known for having some rippable waves, especially when the tide is mid to high. You can expect the best surf when the swell comes from the NorthEast, with the occasional East swell also working. The waves tend to break over sand and are generally left-handers. 12th Street can handle swell sizes of about 2 feet (0.6 meters), making it a friendly option for beginners looking to practice their skills. The ideal wind for this spot comes from the NorthWest, so keep an eye on the conditions before heading out.

When heading to 12th Street Jetty, be mindful of the beach crowd and the presence of lifeguards who are pretty strict about surfing rules, especially from 10 AM to 5 PM. It's a good idea to plan your surf sessions outside those hours if you want to avoid any hassles and find a bit more space to enjoy the waves.
