Jack Beach is a long, sandy stretch that usually gets a good amount of swell. It's pretty exposed, so you might see some wind chop, but it can still offer a fun session. The beach is generally consistent and not often crowded, unless there’s a contest happening. This makes it a decent spot for surfers looking to get some waves without too much hassle.
The surf here handles swell sizes from about 1ft (0.3m) and picks up swell from the west and north. You can find both left and right beach breaks, which cater to a variety of preferences. For the best conditions, aim for mid to high tide with southeast winds. This spot is better for intermediate surfers, as the waves can get a bit tricky if you’re not used to the beach break style.
Jack Beach can be a great place to practice your skills, with plenty of room to spread out. Just keep in mind that the wind can pick up at times, which might impact your ride. Overall, it's a solid option for a day of surfing.
