Jocko's is named after the legendary North Shore surfer, Jock Sutherland. This spot is a left reef pointbreak located along the North Shore. It’s pretty easy to catch a wave here compared to some of the more famous spots up the coast, but don't get too comfy. When the WNW to NW swells roll in, Jocko's can deliver heavy barrels that challenge even experienced surfers. The spot is known for its relatively laid-back vibe, especially when compared to the hustle and bustle of nearby breaks.

The waves at Jocko's are best when swell sizes range from about 6 to 14 feet (1.8 to 4.3 meters) and come from the Northwest. You can expect steep take-offs that lead into solid left barrels, with the potential for some fast rides linking to an inside bowl section. The current can be pretty rough, especially on bigger days, so it's smart to watch for a while to figure out the take-off zone and where the channel is. The optimal wind directions are from the east, and all tide heights (low, mid, and high) work here, making it versatile for different conditions.

Access to Jocko's is straightforward; just park along Kam Highway where it’s permitted, and the spot is visible from the road. It's usually crowded, but you'll still have a decent chance to score your own pit when the conditions are right. Most visitors here appreciate a friendly local vibe, and humility in the water goes a long way. Just be careful of the reef and rocks, particularly on the inside, and expect some cleanup sets on bigger days.
