Jupiter Inlet South Jetty surf guide

Jupiter Inlet South Jetty is a well-known surf spot located in Palm Beach County. It’s a popular place for surfers of all levels, often drawing in crowds due to its decent waves and accessibility. The jetty itself provides a bit of protection from the wind while creating some fun surfing conditions, making it a favored choice for local surfers and visitors alike. Facilities are available to handle the number of people that frequent this break, which makes it pretty convenient despite the hustle and bustle.

The surf here tends to be ideal on low incoming tides, especially with swells coming from the NNE (about 1.2 meters to 3 meters). You'll find a nice inside peak during smaller swells and an outside right that really wakes up on bigger east swells. The main peak is located outside between the jetty and the lifeguard tower, where many sections of the paired sandbars create long, fun walls. When conditions align just right, the waves might even feel a bit like a pointbreak. Beginners can have a go when it’s mellow, but it's good to remember that with the right swells, it can get challenging. The bottom is sandy, making it a comfortable area for various board types, including shortboards, fish, funboards, and longboards.

Expect a good deal of crowding, especially on nice days, but the local vibe has mellowed over time. The spot pulls in waves from a range of swells, handling sizes from 4 ft to 10 ft (about 1.2 m to 3 m). Preferred wind directions are typically from the west, and the action really kicks off in the fall to spring seasons when the conditions are more favorable. If you’re looking for some fun waves, it can definitely be worth a visit, just be ready to share the lineup!
