Jungmun Beach surfspot characteristics

More about Jungmun Beach surfspot

Jungmun Beach is the most popular spot in Jeju and was named among "Asia's Top 10 Beaches". It’s frequently used as a location for movies, thanks to the dramatic backdrop of towering, black basalt cliffs against the blue sea. The Jungmun Tourist Complex provides top-quality accommodations and facilities complete with golf course, a Pacific themed leisure centre and the best concentration of surf spots on the island. Locals have a shack on Jungmun Beach called the 'Wave Club” where more and more Koreans come to learn and an annual surf contest has been held since 2005. The Centre Peak is the inside wave with lefts and rights, which can get very hollow and sucky when hitting the sandbar. The Outside is a mushier peak and shoulder that will roll through to connect with the inside and get hollow if the swell is bigger than 5ft (1.5m). Beware of very strong currents and while it is mainly sand there are patches of reef underneath. Centre and Outside are quite consistent, usually better at low tide and pretty much protected from the cross/offshore winds by the high cliffs.

Some hassling and mild localism on occasion and weekends are very crowded, especially between June and September.
