Jetty East surf guide

Jetty East is a surf spot located in the Destin area, known for its big waves and vibrant surf scene. It’s a ten-minute walk to get there, and it’s situated right along the emerald coast, which gives the water a beautiful color. This spot generally attracts surfers looking for a challenge, especially during the fall and winter months when conditions are most favorable.

The waves here can be impressive, ranging from about 2 meters (6 feet) to 3 meters (10 feet) on the best days. The best time to surf Jetty East is during low to mid tide, especially with swell coming from the South to SouthWest. The waves break over sand and can roll out in both right and left directions. Expect the best surf when the winds come from the Northwest to Northeast. Paddling can be easy on smaller days but gets tougher when the swell picks up.

It’s worth noting that Jetty East is generally meant for intermediate to expert surfers, as the conditions can be challenging. When it gets crowded, the vibe is pretty average, but if conditions are at their peak, you can have a great time. Just remember to walk back up the beach once you've ridden some waves, as there's a channel between the jetty and where they break. Also, keep an eye out for parking attendants while you're there.
